The development of the social web - the set of digital tools that allow people to connect with one another and share their stories - offers extraordinary potential to change what voices get heard in the global conversation. This is unlike anything the world has seen in a thousand years. Change agents working to make the world a better place need not just to be on board with social media but also need to drive and shape the conversation.
Share This! explains the importance of social media as a part of an overall ecosystem of tools for change and examines how broader participation by marginalized voices can foster opportunity on both the individual and collective levels. Tech savant Zandt devotes special attention to the challenges that women face, including concerns about privacy, security and reputation and includes interviews with Shireen Mitchell, Danah Boyd, Cheryl Contee, Beka Economopoulos and other social media experts who work within specific communities addressing race, class and gender disparities.
In a voice both authoritative and irreverent Zandt provides an accessible guide to what the social networking tools are, how woman and minorities can use them strategically, where on the web readers can directly experience their power and why these technologies are so critical to transforming our daily lives.

"When Deanna Zandt writes that sharing is daring, she expresses the logic of the age, where a shift from hoarding to sharing can provide incredible social leverage. Think of 'Share This' as a manifesto for social engagement, and as a manual for positive change."
