Source: Generaton X, Y, and Z.

Everyone has a guilty pleasure, a tv show they watch that they are not proud of. A piece of candy that makes them “woo-sah”. A website that they only view from their personal tablets…. Well here’s another one to add to your list, and you can feel good about it too!

In the wake of social media activism, internet movements, real-life movements, AND OCCUPATIONS comes a way to keep up with the #Occupy Movement. It’s a site called The Occupationalist. It provides real time updates, all day, everyday of the occupy movement and who’s talking about these movements via social media across the nation.

The #Occupy movement started as a protest in New York. Since these events on Wall Street, additional movements have started in several major U.S. cities including Denver, Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, St. Louis and San Diego.

Digatial Trends says, The Occupationalist is a social media aggregator that combines constantly updated content from Tumblr, Twitter, Google Video, Meetup.com and Foursquare into a single page.

The Twitter feeds are organized by hashtags specific to the overall movement and various cities. For instance, tweets with the #OWS hashtag are shown on the left side of the page and tweets using hashtags with specific city names, like #OCCUPYBALTIMORE, #OCCUPYALTANTA, etc.
IMHO, we all want to keep up with the #occupy movement in some way shape or form. We hope they find an ultimate purpose. We hope they keep going and FIGHT the 1%. Wellllllp, here’s your way to secretly support, see who openly supports, and learn more about the #occupymovement in your area.
