In-class writing assignment

Heather Lynn used Shirky's sharing, cooperation, and collective action ideals to take action. Her small fee created a big problem for Wachovia. Heather shared her personal issue she had with the international fee on her donation to Haiti by using Facebook and asking friends to become fans. She had cooperation of her fans to listen to her problem, read her page, and agree with her on the issue. They took a collective action by responding about problems they've also had with Wachovia (creating more negative publicity for Wachovia) and several made themselves ex-clients of the bank by withdrawing their funds. These 3 actions led to personal satisfaction and a $0.30 check from Wachovia for Heather Lynn.
