3. You Could Say The Same About All Sorts Of Threads These Days...

Tue Apr 9, 2013, 07:14 PM

Apr 2013

But it's not about us at DU anymore.

Those Twitter/Facebook/Google+ features mean that messages are being sent from here to the wider world. To be shared, passed around, and hopefully acted upon.

According to one pundit earlier today on MSNBC, the White House was surprised by the, swiftness and volume of dissent, on their Chained CPI proposal.

Which means all this exposing and sharing of information is having an effect.

Is it enough... time will tell.
