Hi John,

Per my previous comment, I read your article, “Connecting Activists . . . ”

The article had an easy to read style, quite refreshing from most other journal articles I read that seem to be more concerned with using thick, academic syntax than with getting their point across.

Of particular interest to me was how you pointed out several factors concerning how labor unions (or activists in general) should not use social media for recruiting and mobilizing. These would certainly be insights that most activists would want to review prior to taking campaigns online.

Overall, a good paper. I’m subscribed to your RSS feed, so I’ll keep an eye out for any other of your work in the activist and social media field.

That’s some serious taunting there for a PC fanboi like me…

Congratulations (I won’t tell if you were to, say, email me a copy)

btw If you had a Mac, you could just plug that webcam straight in and go.
