Globalization at Work

Mark Leon Goldberg makes an interesting point regarding last week's attacks on Twitter and Facebook, which were apparently aimed at an anti-Russian blogger based in Georgia:

Still, it's frightening to see how instability and an unresolved conflict halfway around the world can impact my daily life in a pretty direct way. To the extent that DDOS attacks become a common feature of global conflict, those of us who think we have nothing to do with a conflict one way or the other may increasingly find ourselves smack in the middle of it.
