Swarmation is a collaborative Flash game where you control a single pixel in a grid (as do each of the other people playing the game.)

Seth Godin giving a TedTalk on the tribes we lead – the idea that we’re passed the age of marketing and back to an old fashioned idea that our main influence is the people around us (but now, we have technology instead of campfires to tell our stories around.)
