Hi all

This website: http://occupytogether.org/
... gathers together groups who are interested in reclaiming public space and criticising the "system" like the Wall St protesters.
Their explicit model themselves are the Spanish Indignados and even more the "Qrqb Spring" both in their discourse and in their use of "social media" to facilitate coordination and organisation. If you click on one of the sidebar links (Occupy Boston, Occupy Kansas City etc) you are taken to a dedicated FB page about this event. There is presumably a significant difference in numbers and - this is what I'm curious about - in mass media coverage?

cheers,
Mathieu
