2. Perhaps we need to learn to condense the feedback we receive online so that 100 replies carry the same weight as just one.
3. As we grow more comfortable with social media conversations being part of the way we interact every day, we are going to have to learn how to deal with legitimate criticism.

Explanatory Answer

3 is the best starting sentence for the paragraph, as it introduces the idea of legitimate criticism in social media conversations. 2 carries forward the idea in 3, suggesting that we need to learn to "condense" the feedback we receive online. 4 adds to 2, stating that a “new norm” is likely to arise over feedback repeating the same point over and over. Sentence 1 is best placed at the end of the paragraph. So, 3241 is the correct order.

3241 is the correct answer.
