Brainstorm!

[maradydd]

Prompted by a discussion with 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...)

Facebook during the election had an application where you could sign up to have your status automatically updated every 2 hours to urge people to go vote. 1,745,754 people signed up, and in just under 5 days, sent out 4,919,071 status messages. The largest online rally in history.
