Kony 2012. April 15th gas protest. People often try to organize massive movements on the internet.  Why aren't they successful? I don't neccessarily have the answer to this question, but I think a big step in bringing these ideas into reality would be a convenient app (or website for those without smartphones) specifically for putting forward ideas of protest.  A vote-up system similar to this site's "wattage" or the system on reddit would ensure that the best, most plausible, and most effective efforts reach the masses.  Making it convenient and enjoyably sociable to participate in these protests.
