I feel this is an article worth sharing - it expresses some valid points about the need for social networks to develop alongside inner transformation:
Social Media for Social Transformation"Any social-change hero succeeds in doing three fundamental things -- raising awareness, creating impact, and transforming the heart. Today's technologies, particular social media, can be significant tools. For awareness, the Internet has been an absolute amplifier. For impact, the Internet has been a mixed bag: remarkable potential in democracy movements, but significant problems ranging from cyber-bullying to "slacktivism." Where it has been downright lacking, though, is in transformation. If we consider the profound revolutionaries of our time, from Gandhi and Mother Teresa to Cesar Chavez and Aung San Suu Kyi, their own inner transformation is what empowered them to touch the hearts of their communities. This is the place of our greatest leverage, and this is where the designs of our technologies have to be rooted." An inspiring talk at the UN on social media for social change.

WorldShift International (WSI) is an autonomous worldshift initiative that seeks to promote, support, and engage with the concept of a world shift within our current global systems, as well as an inner-world shift at a personal level, and an evolutionary shift in human consciousness.
The WorldShift International website is a portal to information that supports and encourages both an inner-world, and external world shift, and aims to provide resources that will help to empower individuals in their own process, as well as an awareness for the urgent need for global change.
This - the ‘WorldShift Now!’ social network invites individuals to create and develop their own networks of WS aligned interests with like-minded people.
The WSI Team invites everyone to collaborate, with openness and conscious communication, towards the Shift on all levels. WELCOME!
