The Occupy Movement

Like many other activist groups around the world, the Occupy movement has created many websites dedicated to centralizing information and rallying people. Occupywallst.org includes livestreams, a twitter feed, and various other features to keep people who support the movement informed. Not only do they cover the Occupy movement itself but they also include news from Egypt and other countries who are protesting. Perhaps the most useful feature for keeping the movement alive is the agenda, each day there are timestamps with descriptions indicating where and when an event is going to be held in New York City. For example:
Think Tank Discussion
When Tue, November 22, 12pm – 6pm
Where Liberty Plaza Between Media and the Kitchen (map)
DescriptionGot ideas? Join the #OWS Community at Liberty Plaza for daily discussions on various topics. This daily event is open to all noon to six pm. Ideal for those new to #OccupyWallStreet or people looking for contribute & engange in a meaningful manner with our dynamic community.

Through the incorporation of these various features, Occupywallst.org presents itself and its argument in a legitimate fashion that can only be respected. Although my feelings on the actions of the movement are mixed, it is definitely a positive element to have their argument stated centrally http://occupywallst.org./about/.

A broader approach to the Occupy movement is on http://www.occupytogether.org/, a website dedicated to the movement in all cities. Based on the same principles, Occupytogether seeks to unify the movement's rallies in other cities. The site itself is a strong example of political activism on the internet, in the FAQ the website creators reveal themselves to be two designers and an artist, looking to help promote and strengthen Occupy.

Although in practice the movement is questionable, it is in and of itself an example of internet activism (as well as physical demonstrations) right here in the United States.
