Results of Collective and Connective Action #30

In your paper, you mentioned how Twitter and other technologies are fostering connective movements more than collective movements in response to world events. However, oftentimes connective action can result in a lot of activity, that while imposing change, does not enact as much change as those in the movement are fighting for. Do you think that revolution-scale events can still happen on connective action alone, or is collective action needed to reinforce any connective action?
