Why the Revolution will not be Tweeted

Gladwell, M.(2010, October 4). Small Changes;Why the Revolution will not be Tweeted. The New Yorker, pg 42

The article "Small Changes; Why the revolution will not be tweeted" by the The New Yorker is about the weak bonds with twitter, Facebook and other social media sites gives to people. In the beginning of the article it talks about four African American that were close friends in college in North Carolina that decide to have a sit down in Woolworth that was for white only in the 1960's. Each day they would return with more and more people to help with the protest. The article goes on talking bout because there friendship was so good they were able to do this.  I feel that what the article is trying to say is kind of true with the sit down only being possible because of how close there friends ship was but, I believe that if something like this would have happen with Facebook or twitter it would have been a much larger turn out and a faster response. Twitter and Facebook are a great way to reach a lot of people in a short amount of time.
