That is the origin I know of: but I noticed blixco over-loaded the word on HuSi when discussing his voting experience in Austin. He added an ad-hoc convergance on a space to it, not necessarily co-ordinated, but emergant.

I think it is a modern word ripe for having additional meaning added to it, a kind of meta flocking algorithm, that is unbidden and caused by the following of possibilities and information flows, rather than group co-ordination or coercion.
