Lately I've been reading a lot about the way Facebook chooses what to show you and what to hide in your news feed. Like the author of this piece, last night I also noticed a Twitter/Facebook disparity on #Ferguson discussion. It's an object lesson on the difference between unfiltered news vs. prefiltered, even when the filtering is automated and not deliberate.

(Interestingly, I kept thinking last night about an article I read a while back about the Gezi protests in Turkey, and how Twitter factored in as a communications platform. It turns out to have been by the same writer.)
