Joining the Mob

On Wednesday afternoon at 2 Your Humble Blogger will call together his very first Flash Mob in the stands of Sartoris Stadium on the south end of the campus. Flash Mobs bring people together suddenly, unpredictably, an sometimes whimsically through the use of online communications. A slightly newer version is the Smart Mob, which is often more political in nature and is more likely to use wireless media. Wednesday's experimental mob is being organized mostly through Twitter.

Discussion of Flash Mobs and Smart Mobs, what they are and what we can do with them, will be Thursday's Medianote.
