Biggest flash mob ever?

I must admit, I’m not a big fan of the European song contest. But this Saturday, when the actual show was almost done, all the artists had done their bit, I zapped by the contest. And I stopped and watched… and watched… and watched… I was surprised because the Norwegian organizers had actually pulled of something “2.0″, something very nice. They pulled of a flash mob with people around Europe. I’m not sure if this is the biggest one ever, but it was fun. I had no idea it was coming and was pleasantly surprised. Has the oldest, most boring program in Europe finally grown up? Take a look at what they did:

By the way: as you may know I am a fan of these kind of initiatives, the T-Mobile efforts in the UK also were very nice and a simple search through YouTube also will give you some great examples.

When will we all have one of these?

I like gadgets and new stuff. I always want to have those new ‘thingies’. Unfortunaltely a table like this one doesn’t belong to my household yet. Would love to have one. It’s like a giant iPod Touch or iPhone, but then better.

But I’m curious, when do you think we will all have one of these in our living room?
