More on protests and myspace

Here are some more interesting stories/articles on myspace.com:

From DMN:
Behind the scenes of this week's student protests, a new age of grassroots politics dawned.
The marches Monday in Dallas – patched together in the span of 15 hours through Web pages, cellphone messages and e-mails – show the role technology will play in the future of political organizing.
"There's something new going on in this networking technology, and it's really fantastic," said Danah Boyd, a doctoral candidate at the University of California at Berkeley and an expert in online social connections.
From Church Marketing Sucks:
MySpace or any other social networking site may be just another tool for churches to use to interact with members and visitors. As with any tool there can be drawbacks and necessary safety precautions, but it still has potential to help churches give power to the people and reach out in a cheap and easy web 2.0 way.
