Washington Post video of Facebook and Twitter organized massive snowball fight in Dupont Circle.

And the accompanying story.

Did any Watchers go?

No. My car was in a snowbank and Metro had stopped running, and it was way too far to walk. I did hear about it, tho.

north vs. south?
democrats vs. republicans?
conservative vs. liberal?

this would never have worked in nyc. They would have put rocks in the snowballs.

That is why it looked like fun!
Apparently, good will ruled over this event.
B"H.

General melee, as I understand it. A lot like Congress in that regard. Very Washingtonian.

I went down there, but arrived after the initial/big fight was all over. Some were still throwing snowballs in little groups. Some crazys were throwing snowballs at other crazys driving their SUVs around the circle. I went to try to get on TV as a bet...I didn't make it.

Speaking of snow ball fights gone awry...snowball fight, then retaliation Philly style!

Two members of the Philadelphia City Council are considering legal action against Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace in the wake of a "flash mob" earlier this week that turned violent, according to a letter sent to the city's mayor and obtained by CNET. They claim that social-media sites don't do enough to keep tabs on violence that could be organized through their communication channels.

I thought sports fans might appreciate this one considering it doesn't take much for Philly fans to start lobbing snow balls at the opposing team.

Gotta love my hometown!
