I like to think of the rage that social media has spawned as simply a natural result of everyone's thoughts coming on-line. When Twitter first appeared I thought it was pretty dumb. Why would I want to see a friend's comment that they just went for a haircut? Or that someone just decided to watch show X? The rage is everyone's collective, private thoughts. It's unclear to what extent the internet has exacerbated what was already there.
