May I suggest a " 'throng' of users " ... Nice web content, by the way.

Robert: Nice. They (we, really) do really seem to have that kind of mob mentality on occasion.

Scott: That it is :)

Phil: Are you by any chance involved in web development?

Paul: Good point - I hadn't thought of that. That might actually be the correct term, if such a thing exists.

Flotsam: Love it :)

Not sure about the collective noun for users but my favourite is the one for people in the financial industry:

A wunch of bankers.

I would suggest group of users, but sometimes several user groups may exist within the collective, that doesn't really work. I think the best might be "a body of users." Robert's is undoubtedly more amusing, however.
