18 Flash Mob Movements
From Hammer Pants Flash Mobs to Literal Flash Mobs:
Meghan Young — Dec 11, 2009 — Pop Culture
Although I’m not overly familiar with flash mob movements, apparently it is taking over the globe. For those of you who are equally in the dark, a flash mob consist of people who suddenly congregate in public places for a predetermined demonstration. More specifically, it applies to said congregations organized over email, telecommunication and social media. You learn something everyday. Thanks Wikipedia.
