"quinto poder" es influenciado por los medios de comunicación. Fíjate que el crecimiento del grupo fue aún mucho mayor después de que recibió cubrimiento periodístico. Por otra parte es bueno preguntarse si esta clase de fenómeno puede repetirse sin necesidad de que el catalizador sea un evento tan dramático.

Wow! Overwhelming joy!! That's all I can say to see how not only Colombians, but all people from all ethicities are now more socially conscious about what is happening not only in their home countries, but also have a global awareness and the willingness to join these type of groups to support these type of social causes. Thanks for the posting, very interesting article. It’s amazing to see what you can do nowadays through the internet. 900 new members in less than 12 hours? Wow! Overwhelming joy!!

I think that topic should be explored in a future post. Social media is definitely changing politics worldwide. Very interesting point you bring up.

The influence of Internet in social movements like the ones illustrated about Colombia and Cuba and the consolidation of the well named "5th power" seems like an unstoppable force around the world. I heard that China has now more Internet users than USA, would be this 5th power able to change the way to do politics in China? Very concise and precise analysis about this topic.
