The M.I.T Social Networking Model for Mass Mobilization

In 1969, the research arm of the United States Dept. of Defense, known as DARPA (the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), created the technical core of what eventually became the Internet of today. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of this seminal event, DARPA sponsored a contest challenge in December 2009 to determine how quickly people could use on-line social networks to solve a problem of national scope. The prize was $40,000, to be awarded the first to find 10 red weather balloons, each visible from nearby roads, and randomly placed at undisclosed locations throughout the United States.

Through this innovative contest, DARPA was interested in exploring the roles the Internet and social-networking play in the:
   ⇨ timely communication;
   ⇨ effective team-building; and
   ⇨ urgent mobilization . . .
. . . required to solve challenging problems in a time critical situation.

Over 4,000 teams from around the world participated, and a post-doctoral research team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (the "M.I.T. Team") won the contest in just under 9 hours. The M.I.T. Team's successful social networking experiment demonstrated their incentives methodology using social networks (e.g., Facebook and Twitter) could be used in a wide range of applications because it would:
   ⇨ encourage sharing information, so that . . .
   ⇨ those with relevant knowledge can be . . .
   ⇨ quickly identified and engaged to . . .
   ⇨ resolve a time-critical problem and . . .
   ⇨ reward those who help toward this end.

Accordingly, the M.I.T. Social Networking Model for Mass Mobilization has been adapted to engage the resources necessary to resolve "MorganStanleyGate" once and for all. By exposing and prosecuting the esurient bankers, unethical attorneys, corrupt public officials and unsavory others responsible for the noted FRESCA crimes, the benefits inuring to countless others will be tremendous . . . and YOU can end up with a BIG PAYDAY by helping, requiring LITTLE EFFORT on your part . . .
