I don't understand this article. What does the "social web" have anything to do with why this is now possible?
Even their example, flying three planes of sports fans out to another city, seems like something that could easily be arranged by the president of the fan club or something.
If what they mean is that the "social web" makes this easier, then firstly, I'd love to know in what way exactly (they don't really describe how this works at all), and secondly, there's a big difference between making this easier, and making once impossible things possible (which is what this article claims).
All in all, looks like I'm missing something
