This is an interesting article on what role sports clubs played in the Arab Spring revolutions. I've heard that from the beginnings of watching the revolutions in Algeria, Egypt and elsewhere that the anarchic, physical soccer fan clubs played an important role in the uprisings.
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.
