activism enacted by clicking on a web link
clicktivism \KLIK-tih-vih-sihm\ (noun) - activism or charity enacted from the comfort of your home by clicking on a link on the Internet.
"The most retweeted tweet of 2011 was one in which Wendy's promised to send 50 cents to children in foster care with every retweet, ultimately raising $50,000, a prime example of clicktivism and perhaps the best use of Twitter ever."
Combination of "click" as in an action, plus "activism."
