Townhall Meetings - Why are they so popular?


If any of you have been following american politics, you may have noticed the popularity of "townhall meetings." Instead of formal debates, these things are designed to have a "casual yet chill" appeal. After watching a few of these on TV, I noticed a recent press release from Apple for the new Macbooks. They will even be announcing their new product in a townhall meeting.

Is this the way of the future? Instead of hoping things get coverage, inviting people to a "secret meeting" with a "secret agenda" gets buzz all over the place.

Is this viral? I don't know. But its definitely pretty rad.
