Here I was, minding my own business, when I came across the following quote in a news story I was reading:

Tim Hwang, a researcher of online movements and memes and the managing director of the Web Ecology Project, says that The Bloggernacle illustrates a fact we often overlook: “The Internet is not coterminous with the real world.” He told me by email, “Like in a rearview mirror communities can be smaller than they appear on the Internet: discussion is often subject to parties who are loudest and can rally the most participants to appear online and participate at that specific moment.”

 Then I realized I had misread it. It was actually about Ron Paul. 😉
