Social Media
Who cares if no one cares?

Lately, I’ve been pondering the preponderance of organizations dedicated to getting people to “buy local”, which I suppose includes my own, in a sense. While Social Gifting is not strictly a campaign it is designed to support those who have and participate in these campaigns. The goals of connecting gamblers to local businesses via the PlayerSpot platform is one of information and opportunity, not particularly activism.
Yet, as I go through Facebook page after Facebook page, website to site, I get a reasonable impression of what is similar between the efforts and what I’m seeing is interesting. Despite the different organizations (many of which are actually in competition with each other), despite the approaches, one topic resonates with me in all of them, one word sums the tide these organization fight against: impassivity.
