The author mentions demonstrations. I'd argue that Anonymous DDoSing a target is about as close as we've come to large, distributed, synchronous demonstrations.

The engagement patterns are also especially interesting. My last big idea was for a synchronous platform. I had suspected that was an issue, but I'd be more interested in seeing the graphs from things like "words with friends", which I'm sure anybody who HAS seen it can't really talk about.

Hi Izak. I am quite interested in the details of your last idea for a synchronous platform. If you don't mind, could you shed some light on what problem you trying to solve? Thanks.

Sorry to be rude, but not really. It turns out it is tangential to the rest of my comment and I should have edited it out :)
