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...)

Agreed that the actual problem is not yet specified. Stronger, even: we haven't yet specified the users' requirements (from which we will derive the problems that need to be solved, etc.).

That is: there's a whole thread here which seems to be suggesting that there will be privacy guarantees and possibly identity verification measures...but nothing specific.

(Which is fine, this started out as you asking for possible features; I'm just suggesting that we may want to back up a bit.)
