Can social media make the world a more tolerant place?

Can social media make the world a more tolerant place? was posted by Holly Pavlika on the BigFuel blog as well as her Have Mom~Entum blog. Since both blogs draw different readers, visiting both as great places to weigh in your comments and reply to other commenters. Interestingly, I invited Holly as my guest to the CNN Unwelcome screening breakfast because

(1) she lives and works in NYC,

(2) she works in social media, and

(3) we tweeted that we must meet the next time I was in NYC.

Little did either of us, put the dots together that viewing this documentary would have her recall that she had 2 Muslim nannies, that she actually was a bit anxious about hitting publish to my guest post “Top Ten Reasons Brands Should Target Muslim Social Media Moms”, and that we actually personally connected on levels unknown to both of us, had we not embarked this breakfast together.
