CommsFlashMob – what on earth is it?!
It all started with an innocent throw-away comment a few weeks back…
Anyone interested in social media and communications will know just how big Wikipedia is these days – a staggering 3 million entries and the seventh most popular website globally. But despite its huge reach and considerable influence it’s clear that the entries on some topics, like Internal Communications, are a little way off the mark.
Enter the CommsFlashMob.
The child of some idle Twitter-based banter between Rachel Allen, Abi Signorelli, David Ferrabee, Liam FitzPatrick, Wedge and myself, the idea is to get a bunch of passionate communicators together, lock them in a dark room with coffee and biscuits and try to “fix it” in one afternoon.
That afternoon is tomorrow (Thursday 20 August) and, work commitments permitting, we’ll all be getting together in London – and online – from 3 pm to 5 pm BST (10 to 12 EST).
But we’re not trying to do it in isolation – we hope others will join us online and contribute from a distance.If you’re around at that time feel free to roll up your sleeves and join in – either way you can follow us live on Twitter at CommsFlashMob.
It may not work, but we’ll give it our best shot!
