A new website dedicated the notion that tomorrow's tea party protests are an example of AstroTurfing. One intriguing section helps readers find tea parties in their states--in the same way one tea-party-organizing group (FreedomWorks) is doing on its site. Site creator Dave Meyer, an online consultant who has worked with think tanks in the past, says this function is to facilitate crowd-sourcing--documentation of the protests by citizens on the scene. (Then again, perhaps anti-tea-partyers will show up to the protests and, well protest them.) For those wondering if the site itself is an instance of AstroTurfing, Meyer says he created and is paying for it on his own.
