Thank you for your presenting and the brilliant ideas about technology's induction on political public opinions. I have one question about the role social media play in the formation of specific public domains, and how different network platforms will bring infrastructures on which the public may show different performance. Say Twitter limits the length of a post to 140 words, possibly restricting the opportunities of the public to express rationally in a short context, while other social media that permits long blogs may have a distinctly different atmosphere of public opinions. How do you understand the impact of different media ecology on the apparent civic discourse and structure of feeling?
