Flash Mob in Chicago for Oprah’s 24th Season show

This is the largest flash mob in a single city. 21,000 people coming together dancing in sync – unpaid, connected via twitter, facebook and all the cool technologies. They came together, learn the dance steps and performed!

From Wikipedia: A flash mob is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual action for a brief time, then quickly disperse. The term flash mob is generally applied only to gatherings organized via telecommunications, social media, or viral emails.

This is an example of the power of crowds. There is no financial or economic model that can explain this phenomena – just like Wikipedia. Watch it and feel it.
