Tailrank and the San Francisco Wireless Office in the Chronicle

Dan Fost wrote a great piece in the Chronicle about the San Francisco wireless beduin flashmob:

Burton arrives at 11 a.m., and his lead engineer, Jonathan Moore, 30, arrives a few minutes later. Burton has a double latte and a cupcake, and starts explaining how his site uses "wisdom of the crowds" algorithms to scrape the hottest news from the blogosphere and upend the mainstream media.
