Book description:
The times are not just a-changin', they're a-revolutionizin'! As social media becomes increasingly present in our everyday lives, a major democratic cultural shift is underway. Through the power of relationships, sharing of experiences, and organizing online, previously marginalized voices are pouring into and shaping public conversations like never before.
What people are saying about "Share This!":
"Deanna Zandt is right on target–social media is a new frontier for social justice. The world may indeed be a better place if we all tell our stories authentically and fearlessly and listen to one another with open hearts."
–Cecile Richards, President, Planned Parenthood Federation of America
"When Deanna Zandt writes that sharing is daring, she expresses the logic of the age, where a shift from hoarding to sharing can provide incredible social leverage. Think of 'Share This' as a manifesto for social engagement, and as a manual for positive change."
–Clay Shirky, author of Here Comes Everybody and faculty member, Interactive Telecommunications Program at New York University
"If you are an activist or a concerned citizen and you are new to social media, start with Share This! Deanna Zandt has deep knowledge, broad experience, a knack for clear and simple explanation, a talent for storytelling, and a wonderfully engaging voice."
–Howard Rheingold, author of Smart Mobs and lecturer, University of California Berkeley and Stanford University
"This book is perfectly timed and brilliantly balanced between reality and inspiration. Social media won't change the world on its own but with active, informed and conscious participation we can."
–Baratunde Thurston, comedian, blogger, and Web Editor, The Onion
