"Twitter was his source for monitoring a pair of B-2s and F-16s approaching Osan Air Base, South Korea, last year during a spat between the U.S. and North Korea. The idea was for the aircraft to fly low enough near Osan to be photographed and for that news to circulate around the world through social media; thus indirectly, the flights became the show of force the U.S. intended."
That strikes me as exploring a concept for social media as a force multiplier (more of a force amplifier perhaps?).
