When you are thinking about information, control and subversion in this context, it is useful to make the link to Garth Turner. The authority/audience he gained through his use of social media was strong enough that he felt empowered enough to through off the whip and leave his party. Interesting observation is that he taped his Google Video before he met with the mainstream media. Cheers, Ian. Good thoughts, Rob.
