I've participated in two, in conjunction with geocaching groups. We all wore Hawaiian shirts to one. We met for 15 minutes and then dispersed. Those of us who had time, then met for lunch and geocaching afterwards.

It’s not a sect, or a new discotheque, neither is it a new festival. A <STRONG>Flashmob </STRONG>is an action organized and carried out by a huge number of persons. This group meets spontaneously at a public place and carries out unusual things. After some minutes the mob dissolves very quickly and it seems as if nothing had happened. These actions are organized previously via Internet. The majority of them have only one aim: pure entertainment.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.berlinapartments.me/flashmobs-around-the-world/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.berlinapartments.me/img/9649D99C-560C-4FE7-B876-0BC51243A9FA" alt="flashmobs" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.berlinapartments.me/flashmobs-around-the-world/"><P>The idea goes back to the publication of the book “<STRONG>Smart Mobs</STRONG>: The Next Social Revolution” written by the sociologist Howard Rheingold in 2002. This book talks about the next generation using new technologies for a kind of self-organization. This was one of the principal reasons for the foundation of the first website in 2003 which organizes those collective actions.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/40014D0F-B882-4527-AAD2-51EB515CB80F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
