One question so: You say: "(internet) it is self-organizing, so there is no equivalent of a member of Congress" I'm not sure. You've got influencers in different communities. As elected officials got our vote and sometimes trust , these guys got your clicks and views and sometimes trust :-). R Scoble is a member of the Social media Congress, so as Chris Brogan ... (we've published a list of the top 150 here: http://blog.ecairn.com/2009/02/09/top-150-social-media-marketing-blogs/ ) The parallel goes even into the $. As candidates throw a lot of $ in their campaign, top influencers throw lots of $ in their ad campaigns, SEO/SEM effort, even staff people to write content for them. So it's not one man one vote or one blog one vote or one tweet one vote. Best Great article.
