Facebook activism - does it really work?

Everyone who has a Facebook profile has been invited to one of those activists groups who are trying to make our planet a better place to live. Stop polluting the air, fight racism, legalise marijuana... etc., there are groups of people who want to achieve some (more or less) moral goal.

Most of these groups are pretty naive and look like they're never going to achieve anything. How can few hundred people connected through the internet stop whale hunting? Why should anyone even bother and join one of these groups? It doesn't make any difference anyway... or does it?
