Idea #12 Social Media tool to help crowds gather, get organised, communicate and recognize people

As I was walking down the streets of Vancouver tonight, right after the Olympics opening ceremony, I was thinking about how clueless we were about where to go next. People followed each other and were going from one street to another. Of course Twitter and even Facebook and emails can help and make communicating and organizing a crowd easier, but what if we had our own complete tool for that? A tool where it'd be easy to set and find a location. People could listen to the leaders or read their messages directly, but interaction within the crowd would also be encouraged. Only the messages from the organizers and other people from the crowd wouldn't get mixed up. The t tool would have to make recognizing people in real life easy in order to encourage social interaction and bonding. Votes could be cast, time could be set, pictures and videos could be added. In summary, it would be a tool that could make gathering a crowd easier and sharing information on the spot easy, timely and cheap.
