Jump In #24: Flashmobs and Generation C

June 1st, 2008

We go conga dancing in the shopping mall today, participating in a Flashmob, and asking what’s the thinking behind it.

It’s a glimpse of the future of marketing, when “consumers” are just as likely to create content as to consume it. Learn more about Generation C.

    Simon, this was great! We’re going to be pulling a few of these, methinks, sometime VERY soon in the former Czechoslovak capital — when I saw this I had another one of those eureka moments. Nice summarizing of things into three categories — content creators, content consumers, and the content aggregators.

    Have I mentioned that you’re a pro at these casts now? My goodness — check out that camera movement, baby!

    Very clever demonstration of creating content. We look forward to seeing more from the movers and shakers in Auckland. Fine sombrero, Simon!
