According to nationwide Occupy everything organizers, the estimated Facebook + other maybe exceeds 1.2 million. That is still not breaking the 3 million (1%) threshold.
Is that how you calculate the size of the Tea Party movement as well? By unique protesters? Because it would also be very small, by those standards... almost every movement would be.
Also, how are you counting the international dimension here? This is obviously going way beyond the US now...
