> *What’s the hashtag for this revolution?***
>
> *From #solidarity to #occupy, we’re seeing the power of Internet-enabled
> political action all around us. Individuals can organize quickly, they can
> unify around ideas, they can find and spread information (and
> misinformation) with lightning speed. It’s obvious that virtual platforms
> can have real-world impact, from the Maghreb to Main Street / Benghazi to
> Boston / Syria to Wall Street (pick whatever you like best). The use of
> Internet-based tools as catalysts for political activism is
> well-established, and its momentum is growing.*
>
> *How can we use these new forces in our global society to productively
> address the chronic problems of humanity? What are the limitations of these
> tools and movements? How can these new tools be used by decision-makers and
> others to cope with our future challenges? Where do the Internet and “real
> world” communities intersect, sharing real concern about the same issues?
> And how does this look in countries outside of Europe?*
