Though the details are still a bit vague, I’m organizing a joint project together with JC Medina of Geek Chorus (the guys who brought you Graduation Night and the upcoming project, Creative Expression Using Powerpoint) and bloggers who are interested in joining. The objective is a flash mob project for a record in simultaneous blogging at a wireless hotspot. This is what I propose:
Utilizing a huge open space with several access points for WiFi, a huge number of bloggers will simultaneously open their bags and drop their laptops to log onto the Internet. They will then compose a blog entry with the proposed Technorati tag attached for tracking purposes.
We will be needing the following:
- Someone to record the event on digicam
- If it will allow, a free WiFi access point(s) sponsor since there are only limited number of connections available per hotspot. We don’t want to crash the AP. Heh
- Bloggers to participate and lend extra laptops / mobile blogging devices as well as help organize this event – like finding a venue..
Leave a comment if you are interested to join the project. I will be posting an update as soon as I clarify a few things with JC of Geek Chorus. This is a work in progress scheduled to happen in the next few weeks. We are also researching if this event can actually be eligible for a Guiness World Record.
