Wow, that was quick. The Flashmob backlash, already?!. I was talking with someone at Bicon about whether Smartmobbing would work in this country if it were used for more political things than just assembling in furniture shops to worship scatter cushions. I tended towards the view that people will happily trek thirty miles to do something stupid and pointless but will tend to shuffle their feet if you tried to get them to flashmob the Houses of Parliament or something similar.
