This is not a complete map by any means, but it is impressive how much protesting was going on this year. And the reason is that protesting WORKS! Not all the time, but it has certainly shown itself to be a very powerful tool for otherwise powerless groups. ICA has shown itself around the world to be efficient and useful.
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.
