Hastily Planned Flash Mob Cancelled Unless You Can Think of Something Really Challenging We Could Do

UPDATE: There are several fridges and if there are under 20 users there already it is waaaaaay too easy. Thanks to all those who already wrote in asking to participate - we'll have to not do it again sometime! I was able to do the following by myself just now, with 15 others busily working there...

I do like the idea of an online mob of perfectly legitimate users coordinating their activities in a space like this. If you know of any good virtual location for such an activity that does not involve the use of avatars, let me know.

The above is not what I meant to have our little mob write, by the way - the tagging bug got the best of me, I guess. What I meant to write was...

Well, that isn't quite it either. But someone kept messing with my letters.

TiP Events Calendar: Let's Start A Flash Mob

"Someone keeps stealing my letters" is a shared visual space, similar to collaborative mosaics, in which site visitors share a giant refrigerator door and attempt to write messages. I like this better than the pixel mosaics because the reward and punishment of being robbed of your materials cycles much faster. The result is a more energized "game" rather than a plotted, coordinated process. I feel like we're a bunch of ants who can't communicate with each other. Fun!

Email me at pensare.nelle.immagini (at) gmail.com if you'd like to help take over this space so we can write something funny. I need about ten people who could do it at a prearranged time tomorrow for about five minutes. Ideally we would chat on Gmail chat to coordinate. When we're done we'll do screen captures. It will be the longest word or phrase ever written on that site, and it will be an historic occasion.
