Pygmies on the Shoulders of Giants

Add in a New York accent, “yuh (you’re) pygmies on the shoulders of giants!” This expression has come to my mind frequently as we near the six-month anniversary of Occupy Wall Street.

Occupy and the Democritization of "The Heroine"
By Susan Wilcox, CSJFebruary 17, 2012 The Fifth Anniversary of Occupy Wall StreetOccupy Super-heroineIt has been said, “We are the ones we have been waiting for.” I heard Van Jones expresses this sentiment for this unique time in history. We don’t have to wait for that special person to rise among us as heroine. All who stand up committed in action for the good of the whole are heroes and together we are a super-heroine.

Christian Fuchs said… Hello Susan,
My name is Christian Fuchs, I am professor at Uppsala University and chair of the European Sociological Association's Research Network for Communications and Media Research.
What is the role of social media like Occupii, Facebook and Twitter in occupations and protests? Was the Arab spring a "Twitter and Facebook" revolution? How does the Occupy movement use social media? Is it a social media movement or something different?
We are a group of researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden that is headed by me and that is keen to find out answers to these questions. Therefore we conduct the OccupyMedia! Survey. We invite some users of Occupii to participate in it, and were therefore happy if you could take 15 minutes time in order to help us find out what role social media play in contemporary protests:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/WG7JRG2
If you have any more questions about the survey, please contact us. If you do not find time to participate or simply find such surveys not interesting or annoying, then please simply ignore our request and excuse any inconvenience. Thanks a lot!
Further information about social media research and the background of this survey can be found in this article:http://occupynewsnetwork.co.uk/why-social-media-research-matters-for-occupy/
If you find this survey a good idea, then we are happy if you can also tell others about it.
Best, Christian Fuchs

The Importance Of Reverse Phone Lookup.
Posted by Valentin Stokes on May 3, 2013 at 13:27 0 Comments 0 Likes
The first three digits of the phone number would also help them locate the owner of the phone number. The thing is that if they had just run a phone number lookup, they could have found each other! Before you get any ideas, let me tell you that these sites are perfectly legal and also offer their services free of cost. This happens to many different people all over the world and many of them don't know how they can identify these pranksters. It's extremely… Continue
We are supposed to be in this together!

I was just endiing a campaign in Michigan against our Governor, and wondered what more was out there, what more can I do to help make my country the place I used to love, when I stumbled across a thing called Livestream, where people with the same purpose (supposedly) or like mindness could come together, chat, discuss, plan, and act and I was to say the least, excited. I started chatting and made so many friends and it was then I realized, that I had been wrapped up in my own small…
