It refers to the percieved supremacy of people with access to computers and the internet over those who do not. Like "aristocracy," but refering to computer and non-computer users.

I haven't seen it in a dictionary but my love for describing things is telling me that this word: 'CLICKOCRACY' means
the law of the 'click' group, the click/group has established a certain 'thing', like what style is in or out, who's cool and who's not. A good example of a clickocracy would be a group of individuals that have influence over what others think, but are exclusive among themselves and have made a unanimous decision on what is acceptable. Advertising is just one of those.
Is this a true assessment of the word?

The definition I know for this is basically the concept of voting. A site is popular because of the clicks it gets, not because of hype. It is sort of like voting with your pocket book.

It means a government ruled by people on computers.

Maybe like clicky b.itchy cheerleader type girls from Texas that do what they want when they want and get what they want. That would have been a clickicracy until they got busted lol!
