And many, many of our social media friends are in the movie... so it's a must-see!The documentary shows Siok Siok's whirlwind tour across the United States where she discovers and documents the effects of the social media on a wide range of walks of life. Featured in the film are some of our local social media members including:@adventuregirl - Stephanie Michaels, Travel Journalist@fuzheado - Andrew Lih, Journalism Professor USC@Mika_Tan - Mika Tan, Porn Star and Sex Worker@MarshaCollier - Marsha Collier, Author@HeatherMeeker - Heather Meeker, Marketing Professional@hardlynormal - Mark Horvath, Homeless AdvocateThe stories range from how Twitter is helping the homeless to get off the street and start their lives over to a porn star who uses Twitter to stay in touch with her fans.
