Simply put, what we do in our communities needs to be validated. We become “part&# of the dynamic of the group, of the community.

I love how, when used well, social media can build powerful communities to effect real change and real results. Go straight to them and build your community. That’s a G2MD flash mob from last week; thanks to Geoff Livingston for allowing me to use his photo. You need to reach people to get them to do something?

perhaps the Washington Post should have sent out a flash mob alert. Because that’s what will happen this afternoon, at various Metro stations from 5 pm or so onwards. I’m going to be one of what I suspect will be at least 100 people singing Christmas carols and holiday songs as folks wend their way home after work.
