Commercial SNS like Facebook are a vital tool as they are perfect for spreading a message, recruitment and building social capital over the longer term. But they are inherently poor places for high quality engagement to occur. It’s pretty clear to me from my work that we need both public networks and proprietary platforms (not saying they can’t be built on open platforms, just proprietary in terms of purpose and content).
