Zephyr Teachout said not everyone has to be online.
In a Spinning the Web panel this morning, the former Howard Dean organizer pointed out that only 11 percent of Ukrainians were online during that country's 2004 Orange Revolution.
But she said that those people were influential enough that they could get the word out about mass protests, help plan events or debate political ideology.
Teachout said there is a lesson there for people in rural North Carolina communities who want to organize online.
"Even in rural counties with a low percentage online you can still connect with the real influentials," she said.
