You know, though, there's a good reason that politics is the first arena where this phenomenon being applicable comes to mind.
I love how the internet allows for niche communities to flourish, but when combined with the group polarization phenomenon and compounded by the fragmentation of any common national conversation/event/discourse/information source/etc, then the implications for the public space are really scary.
Highly, highly recommend Cass Sunstein's "Republic.com" (http://www.amazon.com/Republic-com-2-0-Cass-R-Sunstein/dp/0691143285) for a really fascinating take on this topic. Think it explains more about contemporary politics than almost any other book I've read in the past decade.
