I stumbled across this video which talks about politics on the web. Of course despite this video's misleading inference, before there was the web, the internet existed, and before the rollout of hypertext, full blown grassroot politics had already been going on for about a decade. I know this first hand because I was the programmer and director of ECONET in the mid-eighties, a network devoted to appropriate technology and environmentalism. Enjoy!
