WE ARE THE DIGITAL KIDS.

I'm Amanda Mooney, a digital kid and senior social media strategist at Edelman in Chicago. I write for Paper Magazine's Word Up blog with a weekly feature called WWWe Could Be Next and also write for Ruby Pseudo Wants a Word, the Edelman Digital blog and American Shelf Life. You can also get in touch with me via mooney[dot]amanda@gmail.com, find me on Twitter, Facebook, Flickr…or find the ultimate guide to getting in touch with me here.

“Clay Shirky says that the dissemination of news events via social media has heightened the role of emotion. The instantaneous manner with which users of platforms such as Facebook and Twitter are inclined to pick up, modify, and share messages favors excitement over objectivity.” (via IdeasProject)

Of course I still suspect Clay Shirky is really a charming “Internets Expert” character from central casting played by Tom Hanks.
