Two Articles about Social Networking Sites for Change

In all the hubbub about video on the hub, we seem to be forgetting that a big, if not bigger, consideration should be the hub's social networking capabilities. If people can't connect, interact, and organize as a community, how will the hub be anything more than a bunch of videos tagged as being "human rights related?"

Techcrunch, recently posted articles about two social networking sites change.org (how'd they get THAT url?) and dotherightthing.com. They liked change.org, but were less complementary about dothrightthing.com, which they dub "do the smug thing."
