What about an activist app?

6. The "app" might merely be an enabling device for

a coherent community-based movement in its formative stage, and a "news channel" for a more mature movement. Some I-net critics point to the vacuum of legitimacy left by the collapse of the Big 3 t.v. nets and the dailies. These are/were mass media which, with all their imperfections, served to legitimize issues & values for community action. It is failing. Now, some big sites seem to be searching for a way to fill the void. Maybe it will be through some outfit like Reddit. Perhaps an app can be an outgrowth of a larger site. Maybe the app can be the actual beginning of community consciousness.

The point is, our society is increasingly atomized, and unless the notion of community is ideologically and explicitly rejected (in favor of what, I don't know), we have to face the fact community is fading to history, esp. referencing progressives.

Is there a quick, tech fix? Or a series of BBQs in the park? A campfire in the woods?
