Internet Collective Action is people organizing in a nonhierarchical manner to accomplish a particular goal. The reward is in the doing, and how much or how little anyone participates is completely voluntary, depending on their abilities and commitment to the goal. By this process amazing things can be accomplished. ICA will grow so long as the Internet is free. http://www.lisamcpherson.org/pc.htm is an example of ICA.

The media helps spread the word
ICA is powerful and all that, but boy can the media sure help. My site on Lisa McPherson, who died at the hands of Scientology, generally has been getting about 75 hits per day. After the news broke that Katie Holmes is splitting from Tom Cruise over Scientology, the hits have shot up to 4500 on the first day, and have been over 1200 per day since! The media have stiff competition nowadays with bloggers, facebook, et al, but they can still pack a wallop.
