Flash mobs are a new social trend fueled by social media that can spread awareness of global issues. The study examined three flash mobs from 2010-2011 related to anti-bullying, breast cancer, and T-Mobile. It found that the anti-bullying flash mob generated the most online discussion at 62% of posts, while the breast cancer flash mob resulted in $7,700 raised and the T-Mobile mob got positive news coverage despite lower post numbers. Flash mobs effectively bring people together and communicate messages in an entertaining way using social media organization.
