I am an active user of the Chinese facebook “Renren”. I like to write about stuff that are bothering me the most, whether the issue is political sensitive, or the “social taboos”. Most recently I write a blog about how “Tibetan activists” protest in America. I happen to know a lot of the Tibetans who claim they were being politically suppressed by the Chinese government are just paid puppets who had never been to Tibet nor China. A lot of my friends shared my blog, and they were amazed about the chaos which were stirred up by the fake Tibetans in the U.S.

Since the cyber environment is so powerful nowadays, if you really want to know about a culture, talk to the real people from the culture, or simply go to the place itself. It is always beneficial to gather different information and make the final adjustment by yourself.

Other social medias like youtube is also another channel for people to express their attitude, or call out for awareness. The “KONY 2012″ is a wonderful example of how people utilize the cyber environment to convey ideas to others. The fantastic part about social media is it’s a open platform, every single detail of a video will be viewed and analzed by a lot of people. Alone with the “KONY 2012″ original production, they are also videos that question the validity of this matter and how the founder of the film uses it to scam innocent people for personal gains. You can manipulate others online, but the groups in cyber environment is so big, you can’t fool them all.

The importance of group effect is profound in almost every aspect of our lives. The cost incurred by creating a new group or joining an existing have fallen drastically in recent years. We now have communications tools that are flexible enough to match our social capabilities.  People get together online to do different stuff everywhere. We find phones, write wikis, and join a Mermaid Parade in Coney Island together.

Flicker completely changed the way people communicate with each other. It creates this “share, then gather” paradigm. It promotes togetherness and develope many conversations. It speaks out when traditional media were being silenced.

To me, it is amazing how people utilize social medias nowadays. The microblog “Weibo” in China speaks out for many people. Half of a month ago, one salon employee posted a video about a foreigner in Beijing who was trying to rape a Chinese girl right in the middle of the street. It was late at night, the employee used his camera phone recorded from the beginning where the convict tried rape the girl, until the end where he got beat up by three people and was taken by the police. Many people were shocked by this video and cried for justice. Two weeks later, the Beijing municipal government started to make all foreigners in Beijing to show their valid ID and passports in order to stay in the capital, and it is all because of this video.
