Brainstorm!

Prompted by a discussion with [livejournal.com profile] bunnykitteh, who's good at prompting these kinds of things:

Imagine a Facebook and/or MySpace application aimed at organising flash mobs for political action (e.g., the kind of thing Anonymous might use to quickly notify members of imminent $cientology activity in a particular location). What features should it have? (Twitter gateway?)

(Note that with Facebook, especially, there are all kinds of interesting concerns with respect to privacy...)

Good call. Could be done on the fly using AJAX events pretty trivially, to boot.

And each event could be assigned a unique name to use in tagging, so that folks who register their blog with the app get posts tagged with that tag auto-syndicated (perhaps pending mod approval).
