Spier

What a man he was! And look all the ways the internet enabled him to carry out civic activism, unite with others who held common interests, and make a statement and a difference with his actions.

My favorite quote from the article, and one that I believe summed up the entire conversation we are having here in the blogosphere

The internet " enabled spier to discover his passion for social justice ...the internet enabled him to conduct unmeditated, two way one to one and many to many communication with others of like mind...the catalyst for action"

And it is my belief that it also gives individuals the power of one to many communication that allows such things as Obama's blog to be such a catalyst for his election and presidency.
