Cyberactivism researchers:
From Brazil:
Henrique Antoun <hantoun@gmail.com> - researcher from UFRJ who specifically study social media as a tool for mobilization and political action. I think his approach is focused on Negri and Delleuze ideas. Sergio Amadeu <samadeu@gmail.com> - researcher from Sao Paulo. He not only is a researcher but is also a cyberactivist.
