Interview with the man behind the ‘greenification’ of Twitter.

Indeed. And I guess dialogue is the one thing that Twitter is really good at facilitating. What do you think is the real potential of Twitter for the purpose of facilitating social change?

Oh, come on …

Next thing I’ll be hearing is that Twitter will be where Jesus first announces his second coming.

Whatever is happening in Iran, is happening because there are people putting their lives on the line. It isn’t because of Twitter or whatever it is that Twitter is good at.

People are making it sound like we never ever had any facilitators for social change.

And to people who say Twitter is making it easier to facilitate social change… I call bullshit. Change never happens unless people are ready for it to happen. The tool used is incidental.

All Twitter does is allow more gutless people to masturbate in their glory of armchair activism safe from everything.
