For you who are interested, I would like to let you know that a new

CITIZENS IN @CTION
Indonesia is booming on social media. It has the second largest
population on Facebook and also scores second on the amount of tweeps in
Asia. Recently Hivos and University of Manchester's Institute of
Innovation Research (MIOIR) carried out a research into the way civil
society organisations and groups engage in civic activism by means of
the use of Internet and social media in Indonesia. This research shows
how various civic engagements impact the shaping of the civil society in
the country, and more importantly, social change. It contributes to the
overall debate on the use of social media and civil society
organizations in Indonesia in particular and global at large.
The report “Citizens in @ction” was launched in Manchester on the 4th of
April 2011.
