Ai Weiwei and the Twitterverse

Ai Weiwei is one of my personal heroes.  If you've ever heard of him, it may be as the designer of the "Bird's Nest" Stadium at the Beijing Olympics.  Or maybe that exhibition he did in London featuring 100 million porcelain sunflower seeds?

He lives in China, and the government over there does not always appreciate some of the things he has to say.  The recently arrested him because of it.

Well, he's been released from prison, but apparently he's not ready to just pipe down.

Here's an article that we might read in ComMedia.  It involves Ai, but also the possible use of Twitter as a conduit for social justice.

By the way, what do Communist China and Tolland High School have in common?  You can't access Youtube in either place.  (Sorry.  That's a cheap shot.)
