Are social networks turning into opinionated soap boxes?

Matthew Liptak | November 19, 2009

With today’s array of social media networking websites, we are starting to see more and more statements and opinions whether political in nature or not, expressed to networks. One can argue that social media is a soapbox for any individual to discuss issues and voice free speech and hear others opinions on what is being voiced. I have seen this happening on many sites and there are areas that are used for these purposes on most social websites. Case in point, when I first started my Linkedin Troops Support networking group, I merely posted this group as a question on Linkedin and let others answer if they had interests in a group of this sort.
