Protests Stir Up Voices on the Web

By JILLIAN DUNHAM

"As the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York cycled through their 14th day, with a surge of attention and confusion over a Radiohead show that wasn’t, an overwhelming amount of information continued to flood the Internet, from snarky Tweets to informational Web sites to blogs representing individual experiences during the economic crisis."

The protests were in many ways born on the Web, with calls to action on multiple organizing sites, including Adbusters and NYC General Assembly. Anonymous, an Internet hacking group that has taken a leadership role in the movement, continues to spread information through its blog and Twitter feeds.

The organization Occupy Wall Street has been using its Web site to spread news to supporters and the news media. As controversy over the Police Department’s use of pepper spray intensified, Occupy Wall Street posted videos of the episode and published the name of the deputy inspector involved, Anthony Bologna. Inspector Bologna was later taken to task on “The Daily Show” by its host, Jon Stewart, and the actor Christopher Meloni, a former star of “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.”..... see the NY Times for more coverage
