Merge/redirect to Smart Mobs as per hagerman Bwithh 23:01, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep - this article could certainly be improved upon, but it is a very real concept in new media/sociology and is referenced/written about extensively outside of Rheingold's book, for example: this paper from the 2003 Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, this paper from the 2004 European Conference on Information Technology Evaluation, this IEEE paper, etc. Also see all the times it's mentioned in Wired (including this: "Is Wikipedia a heartening effort in digital humanitarianism - or a not-so-smart mob unleashing misinformation on the masses?") schi ^talk 09:22, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Schi. Seems like a logical and improvable article subject. --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:54, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
