We have all witnessed the power of social media. It helped elect Barack Obama president in two thousand eight. It also helped to support popular revolutions in two thousand ten and eleven that forced several long-time rulers from office. Now, research suggests that social networks could have an even greater effect on elections, helping to increase the number of people who vote.我们都目睹了社交媒体的力量,它帮助了奥巴马2008年当选总统,也有助于支持了2010和2011年推翻若干长期统治者的大众革命.现在,研究表明社交网络对选举能产生更大的影响,有助于增加投票的人数.
