Things You'll Need:
- Computer
- Internet Connection
- Cell Phone w/text messaging (optional)
-
Step 1
You could start a Flash Mob the Bill Wasik way by forwarding mysterious email invitations. Wasik, however, believes that his particular viral email worked because of the sender’s anonymity and because it was the first of its kind. As for the email style itself, according to Wasik, the more mysterious, absurd, or “weirdly specific” the better. And underneath it all, the email must convey that the sender “isn’t messing around.” Also, it should convey that it’s “purely for fun” and “nobody was making any money off it.”

Step 2
Start a Flash Mob group online. This can either be done by creating your own Flash Mob website with member registration capabilities, or starting a group on a Flash Mob social networking site like Xflashmobs.
At Xflashmobs, a group can put together its own email list, and set up its own messaging system via SMS text-enabled or web-enabled cell phones. -
Step 3
If you don’t want to use unfamiliar social networking sites or forums, you can use one of the major social networking sites like MySpace and create a personal page specifically for the event.
In 2006, 1000 people converged on downtown San Francisco’s Justin Herman Plaza and had a massive pillow fight. The details of the Flash Mob pillow fight event were planted on Wikipedia.
