Posted on January 1, 2009 by Chris

Talk about unintended consequences of living your life online. Apparently a mob of over 500 attempted to crash a birthday party at a club in South London when they saw it profiled on Facebook.

“More than 500 youths were caught up in a mass brawl as they tried to gatecrash a girl’s 18th birthday party advertised on Facebook.Up to 50 police officers were scrambled to disperse the bottle-throwing louts after the group was refused entry to the bash at Club 791 in Thornton Heath, South London.”

Pretty amazing. Welcome to Web 2.0.
