Social media, gift economy and volunteerism
Thinking about social media, volunteerism and the broader context of the gift economy:
- Social media has led to the reemergence of the gift economy on a whole new scale
- Volunteerism is one of the most developed forms of giving in many societies today
- Social media is rewriting many of the rules of engagement for volunteerism because it’s rewriting the rules of the gift economy itself

- Giving activities – Part 1: Participation
- Giving activities – Part 2: Professional amateur
- Giving activities – Part 3: Civic engagement
