[Linganth] twitter piece for undergrads?

[Scott Kiesling]

>From Lauren Collister (lbcollister at gmail.com):

I enjoyed Sarah Kendzior's piece on Twitter as a medium and Twitter
activism.
http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/2014/02/blame-it-internet-20142453122572101.html
It has a lot of links in it to other pieces on Twitter and activism as
well.
