Testing the power of social networking?

If for instance numerous social networking groups emerged encouraging people who share insurers to join their respective site and invite others creating unified groups of policy holders, each numbering in their thousands, maybe million, how would this affect insurers? And would anyone suffer or benefit from it?

Networks such as this could be conduits for great social change if they were used right.

People need to act together to effect change, and that requires people to organise. The internet and Social forums are a gift when it comes to getting out a message and organising a response, but unfortunately people seem more interested in 'giving kitty so many likes' on Facebook.

Imagine what might happen to ticket prices, for example, if all football matches were boycotted for a couple of weekends in protest.

Unfortunately the British just don't seem to have the same fire in their bellies as, say, the French, who protest at the drop of a hat. We seem willing to put up with anything, and get regularly s..t on as a result...
