[CITASA] [socgrad] Spanish Translation Needed - Virtual Social Networks: e: cooperation to work

Thu May 7 19:03:35 EDT 2009

Saludos Michael,

I gave the questions a try. I hope this helps.

What are some of the reasons for the growing importance of virtual  
social networks?
Can new technologies in general and virtual social networks in  
particular play an important role in the search for peace?
If you know about the march in Colombia against FARC, what input might  
you have about the use of Facebook to organize?
Are these virtual social networks as important, or is their relevance  
exaggerated?
Do you consider virtual social networks one more step forward in the  
search for a more inclusive society?
