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.
As he talks, Gallagher joins in, and advises, "Lower your voice. I already know the ins and outs of your business plan from the last time I was here."
Check out the flash coverage as well. Pretty slick and innovative for mainstream media!
Jonathan (foreground) joined the company about a month ago. We've both been really heads down working on some cool stuff (stay tuned).
