Summer's Over
At least in NYC, so the Flash Mob phenomenon has been officially laid to rest. Sure, there will still be mobs, although maybe only the less-than-good-natured ones seen at WTO meetings, but “Bill’s” mobs are over. I suppose I knew that once they were co-opted as a political joke in Doonesbury. The second Sydney mob sounds like it was just as fun as the first one, and now that we’re heading into summer, I wonder if there will be more? There doesn’t seem to have been much from Europe lately, so maybe the mobilization power of cell phone-internet combination has been sufficiently demonstrated.
