And here is a new example of social networking done by upmystreet.com where you can post messages and form a community based on your post code. Came across this snippett about instant crowds “There is this new thing happening in New York, where people arrange to create instant crowds for 10 minutes or so throughout the city. They then leave, with everyone else totally confused why 500 – 600 people are standing around giggling.

Anyone fancy starting some instant crowds in London? Sounds stupid.” posted by Scott W in Hackney E9.

Bet Blair and the UK police would find that really scary!!!

And here is an awesome use of the new camera phone technology where a 15 year old in USA had presence of mind to take piccy of his alleged abductor. Full report here

an excellent article about mobile blogging with a good selection of blog links. interesting about police closing down media centres. This convergence of phones / cameras / and internet is really going to change democracy for the better IMHO

An interesting titbit here about out the SMS messaging centre in Mumbai India was shut down so that demonstrators couldnt use it! So take your carrier pigeons next time you demonstrate or maybe use a 802.11 access point Umm wonder if you can buy a pda/phone with both GSM and 802.11 technology built in.
