TODAY: Trends in 2012 and Google+!

Greetings!

Today, the most epic trending topic is Kony 2012, a social cause video that is using an innovative people-powered strategy: By 'celebritizing' the world's #1 most-wanted warlord, we have the power to make politicians act. The video has half a million views after two days, so be the first in your friend group to check it out and pass it along. Obama has already committed U.S. forces to help the Ugandan government find this warlord. BUT, this sort of political action only happens when it is clear that voters continue to care. SO, what makes this video a milestone in social media, is that it could change the way that citizens think about influencing public policy in the future.
