To take two examples: people complain about an issue to an important newspaper prompting them to push the issue into the mainstream, or if a TV station covers an event, that becomes an important topic.

Social media isn’t going away, but this example shows that some systems just happen to work better than others. Take MySpace for example, they rank their blog postings daily like a billboard chart.
