However I thought the mini rant against Facebook groups was a little off base. Sure I too find some of the groups annoying and pointless. 'I bet i can find a million people who can say their own name', or 'I read it in the Daily Mail so it must be true' However, as Stepehn Fry said, the Internet is a city, and like a city it caters for all. And Facebook just like any comunity center houses groups for particular needs and thoughts. So will facebook groups change the world? maybe not. but in an increasingly insular world, its uniting people on a common theme or belief. As fans of a show. Bringing attention to a charity run. It can introduce you to people, however virtually, that you would never have met before. Isn't that a good thing? So maybe a facebook group wasn't responsible for stopping a starbucks in Brighton, but if people could use the group to share information, arrange protests. Isn't that a good thing?
