Alex Schlotzer commented on the blog post 'Guide to using picture sharing sites for activists'"Thanks for the comment Mariel.
You make an excellent point about thinking about the content to post on a photo stream. It's very important to consider the content element so that you are telling a story, not just manipulating feelings.…"

Profile Information
- My web address:
- http://alexschlotzer.wordpress.com
- About me:
- I consider myself to be a rather straight forward kind of person. I mostly spend my time involved in politics whether at a local, state, national or international level. There are many things that can be done in the world and all of it relies on the politic at the time. I do have other hobbies than just politics.
By day I work as the ACTU Web Campaigns Officer. I prefer full time cyber warrior but whatever. And by night I work as an individual online activist and amateur blogger.
I do enjoy visiting museums and galleries with the Australian Centre for the Moving Image usually a great place to visit. If you haven’t seen Victoria’s Parliament House then you should get down there and watch from the public galleries and/or take the tour. It’s an impressive old building with much history associated with it. Although I do make an effort to try to check out the Parliament Houses around Australia. Queensland’s Parliament House is also quite impressive with the old Legislative Council chambers being used primarily for ceremonial events, special occasions and for hosting dignatories etc.

Social media and activism
