Last night I went to The Police concert here in Miami – great show. As I was looking at the crowd (had a great view from far away – not so great to see Sting, Andy, and Stewart) I saw hundreds of small lights sprinkled throughout the spectators. What used to be lighters had been replaced by small LCD screens, concert goers were now holding up their mobile phones, cameras, and other devices recording the show.

This morning I decided to search YouTube and Flickr – sure enough both videos and photos of the concert were already posted – some directly from the stadium. While the immediacy of information and content created by the users is nothing new – it was extremely interesting to witness it in action on such a massive scale.
