somethingchanged:

“Clay Shirky says that the dissemination of news events via social media has heightened the role of emotion. The instantaneous manner with which users of platforms such as Facebook and Twitter are inclined to pick up, modify, and share messages favors excitement over objectivity.” (via IdeasProject)

Of course I still suspect Clay Shirky is really a charming “Internets Expert” character from central casting played by Tom Hanks.
