FLASHCACHING??

Recommended Posts

After hearing and reading about flashmobs (a mob meeting at a pre-determined spot and time and then performing some unusual group activity), I was wondering if anyone has ever thought of combining geocaching with flash mobbing?

 

For example, a mob of geocachers agrees to find a cache at the exact same time and agrees to meet at a pre-determined set of coordinates to begin the hunt. While this is already similar to groups that meet and hunt caches, I think having a exact preset time would make it a little more fun.

 

Or how about using coordinates and time for flash mobbing itself? I personally don't see the joy in flashmobbing, but I think the potential exists for using GPS technology with flashmobbing.

 

Thoughts or other ideas? If interested in reading more about flashmobs go to flashmob.com.

hmm an Interesting idea. Instead of actually searching for a cach you could just give coordinates and a time to be there and everybody would have to track down that place using a GPSr. the possibilities of places to use are endless it could be anywhere from in the middle of a forest to a bank in the city. a very interesting concept!

I dont think this would be anything like controlled anarchy. I dont think there is any problem with a large group of people gathering there is a HUGE diffrence with people gathering for fun and people gathering to protest. as long as this sort of thing is done properly I think it could be loads of fun

we could always dress up like gangsters with golf clubs and metal bats and once everyone arrives someone calls the police. Everyone waits together for 5 minutes and then scatters. The first person caught by the police looses... JUST KIDDING... that would be bad... lol

On another note..... the approvers would do what....?

 


 

Yeah, but they would be inconsistent. Some would be topless while the others would be bottomless.... icon_biggrin.gif

Controlled anarchy - Is this anything like organized chaos?

What happens if you walk into the crowd and ask who their leader is? icon_wink.gif
