FLASHMOBBING IS ABOUT TO GET MAINSTREAM.
External link:
The flash mobbing story, broken by us bloggers, is quickly becoming a big mainstream story.
Last week saw articles about the flash mob phenomenon in the Chicago Tribune, and on MSNBC's and the BBC's Web sites (all of which either quoted me or cited this blog or both).
Yesterday there was a feature article in the New York Post. Today ran a story (in which I was extensively quoted) in the Dallas Morning News.
Tomorrow I happen to know that a story is running in the Orlando Sentinel and in the Boston Globe, probably on the front page, and probably quoting me.
So, yesterday, today and tomorrow, that's The New York Post, the front page of the Dallas Morning News, and (probably) the front page of the Boston Globe. This story is about to go international.
I also lent my videotape of flash mob #4 to a reporter from Inside Edition who tracked me down through my work (Charge.Com, Inc., which was mentioned in the BBC article), and asked me for it, so they may do something with that.
Oh, and incidentally, I first brought flash mobbing to the attention of Sean S. of cheesebikini.com, who, in turn, widely publicized the phenomenon to the world and coined the term "flash mob," which seems to be the most popular term for the phenomenon.
What a silly waste of time.
