Abstract

This article profiles Netroots, the Democratic online community made up of bloggers and activists. They have helped to mobilize many campaigns in the short time that they have been in existance. The online community has started to branch out into "normal" political tactics, like canvassing neighborhoods and raising money for campaigns. Netroots is looking to expand their reach beyond technophiles, IM and email. They have even spawned a Republican countergroup, Rightroots.
