AFP reports on how Smart Mobs are emerging here in Krakow in reponse to the Pope's death:
KRAKOW, Poland (AFP) - More than 150,000 young people marched through the streets of Krakow Monday in an impromptu tribute, organised with the aid of modern technology, to Pope John Paul II.
"I got a message by Internet telling me to come and thank the pope for his pontificate, for all that he did for us students," Rafal Gajeweski, a student at the technical university of Krakow, told AFP.
Others, like high school student Kasia Fronczyk, who was carrying a banner in the Vatican's white and yellow colours, draped with the black of mourning, had learned of the event by another technological medium, the mobile telephone text message.
