I'm very interested by how you incorporate the notion of time as a shock factor in eliciting a response from your audience. I definitely agree that the type of responses you may receive can be generalized into the three categories you mentioned. Do you think that a response is indicative of that person's own beliefs, or their perception of you? Do you think some people would change their reaction or "filter" their posts because they're posting on a public social media site?

I'm interested in what this project will reveal about profile pictures associated with "slactivist" movements, particularly forgotten ones. Though I predict that there will be ironic comments made and a general assumption that the profile won't be taken seriously, I wonder what the impression would be if instead of Kony 2012, the picture was of an old campaign that didn't have negative press come after the fact, such as the ALS ice bucket challenge. Would the level of irony be the same? In any case, I'm curious to see if "slactivist" movements fall closer in line with those of "fads" than proper activist movements for a cause.
