A Flash mobs planner may sound contrary to the flash mob idea, a group that suddenly assembles and suddenly disperses, after all seems to thrive off spontaneity. However, if you think about it, zombie mobs, group pillow fights, consumer stunts and the like require some sort of planning.
Zombies don’t gather by themselves, now, do they? Picnicmob, therefore, has come up with the marvel idea of flash picnic mobs. These are obviously planned affairs, and Picnicmob has you fill out a 30 question survey so they can determine where and with whom you’d be best off sitting near. It takes a little of the mob element out of the picture, but who really wants to share corn on the cob and grilled chicken with a complete stranger? This way you’ll at least enjoy your eats with someone who likes the same music you do. Harmonious mobs are better than chaotic, disparate ones any day. As long as you’re registered you’ll be emailed the time and date, and then it’s picnic time.
Picnicmob.org In Their Own Words
“You answer the questions below and we throw the data (from you and a ton of other people from your town) into a supercomputer to calculate precisely you should sit so that your neighbors have the same interests It’s a big social map of communities, but created in real life!”
Why Picnicmob.org It Might Be A Killer
Flashmobs are popular stunts, but the problem is not everyone gets along. Picnicmob takes the flashmob idea and gives it a more communal edge. It’s a little more civilized, it’s got a point, and you can actually make friends with your picnic buddies.
Some Questions About Picnicmob.org
Does Picnicmob go against the grain of true flashmobs? What sort of algorithm/supercomputer do they use to determine who sits by whom? Will they achieve enough users to actually have a picnic?
