Online activism makes it much easier to seek and publicize information. Having access to this information can lead you to make different decisions, but it is the personal interactions with family and friends that lead you to evangelize about what you have read and encourage them to take part as well.

I agree about the social media being a MEANS to and end. It is so tempting to sit back and be an armchair activist. However, I do think that armchair activism has its merits. I'm often moved to think much differently reading blogs, and interacting, which induces a direct effect my my decisions in life. So...there is value in both, but I think the face to face element of any social interaction is the most critical. Great writing. Vanessa – points 1-4; yes yes yes and yes.
