Does social media provide an alternate route to influence?

Nope.

First, fast movers control the discussion.

The same people wield influence online and off.

what’s my point?
Social media data is most useful when we connect to other data sources.
Social media is not an alternate route to influence for politicians.
Male-ness and Republican-ness are still the most reliable routes to power.

a call to action
Respect expertise beyond the technical
Educate students to be adequate coders and outstanding theorists

Who said it first – Congress or the press?
How do constituents lobby Congress via Twitter?
How can we measure the impact of online protests like #stopthensa?
