I got into an argument last night over what I first perceived as a “lack of sense of proportion” in conversations in social media. After all, it the girls that P-Noy loved before get more traction in social media than the names of all victims of the Ampatuan Massacre combined. People are more interested in tagging Foursquare locations than the deteriorating state of mining regions in the Cordillera, viewable through any satellite view map. It seems to indict the quality of discussions at first, but it does prove one very important thing: social media amplifies conversations. If a video goes viral for being so hilarious or awesome, shouldn't the same be the case for the gaffes of the government?
