Using Social Software for Fun and to Make History

In an article titled "Ultimate Snowball Fight" that was bookmarked in del.icio.us/tag/ccte, an individual is trying to "rally as many folks as possible for an all out winter melee," not only for the fun of it, but also to make history by breaking the world record of the highest number of people ever involved in a snowball fight! This person is trying to use the power of the internet and social software to get the message across and also to whip up interest in as many people as possible, and eventually get them motivated enough to come out and participate in the event.

This is a very interesting and ambitious adventure, but I have no doubt that it will succeed considering the fact that not only is the idea itself quite interesting and challenging, but the ability of social software to disseminate information, motivate and mobilize people into action is very enormous.
