It is a fascinating concept, and takes on more explanatory value every day. Should be a great presentation.

If you can't attend on Thursday, you can catch both Rheingold and Paul Jones at the Lulu Tech Circus on Saturday in Raleigh.

What's a Lulu Tech Circus? I guess we'll just have to go in order to find that one out:

"Smart mobs emerge when communication and computing technologies amplify
human talents for cooperation. The impacts of smart mob technology already
appear to be both beneficial and destructive, used by some of its earliest
adopters to support democracy and by others to coordinate terrorist
attacks. The technologies that are beginning to make smart mobs possible
are mobile communication devices and pervasive computing inexpensive
microprocessors embedded in everyday objects and environments."

Howard Rheingold is the author of several books, including The Virtual
Community: Homesteading on the Electronic Frontier and Tools for Thought:
The History and Future of Mind-Expanding Technology. In 1985, Rheingold
became involved in the WELL [Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link], an online
conferencing system, which led to his interest in and writings about
virtual communities. His latest book, Smart Mobs: The Next Social
Revolution, will be published in November 2002. For more information about
