FLASH MOBS

I apologize for my previous posting regarding flash mobs where I stated they seem to be clean fun. Well, I was wrong. The entry was made because I held a passing interest in the novelty of flash mobs and I gave the subject no real thought. I now regret what I wrote and I take it back.

Kevin has a blog called Incestuous Amplification which documents a much clearer and comprehensive understanding of the subject of flash mobs. The negative aspects are apparent. So much so that there are independent efforts by responsible people to "hack" the flash mobs and prevent them from creating potentially dangerous circumstances. Readers need to be aware of the tactics of flash mobs and their consequences.
