- Title
The Need for Social Media Alternatives.
- Authors
Gehl, Robert W.; Synder-Yuly, Julie
- Abstract
This short essay describes the Social Media Alternatives Project (S-MAP), an online archive of materials associated with non-corporate social media sites. The essay contrasts alternative social media with corporate social media such as Facebook and Twitter. It calls for media justice organizations, including the Union for Democratic Communications, to shift some of their communication practices away from Facebook to systems such as Twister or Diaspora.
