I guess this is a pretty tough question.
So here's an example of what I mean:
Let's say that we'd like to see more cherry-flavoured ice cream being
offered in our local ice cream shops. Well, in this case we would gather a
large group of people (over the Internet for example), and tell them to
start asking for cherry-flavoured ice cream, next time to go into an ice
cream shop. How they do this, is not really that important. The point is
that we want to generate a new hive!
If you were a ice cream shop manager, and you'd notice that hundreds of
(potential) customers have asked for cherry-flavoured ice cream in the last
month... Let's see if you wouldn't add it to your flavour list! ;-)
Right?!
Well I need the name of such a "conspiracy". These kind of actions have a
name. Something to call them in the press, etc. I think it might be a new,
trendy word (such as squatting, fragging,...). What is it called?
Anyone?
