Social Media for Social Justice?

During my week in Austin, with the exception of Lawrence Lessig’s presentation on political corruption, I didn’t discover any talks about how to use our technology to improve our relationship with one another and our planet. It feels like the social media explosion is about how to focus the amazing benefits of technology on ourselves.  This makes it very hard not to be cynical.  Building monuments to ourselves, and optimizing their search engine rank, is not the way to create a better future.
