TxtMob is apparently another exciting, new, flash-mob related text-messaging-based communications technology that lets people sign up for text-based mailing lists. It was used at the Democratic National Convention to organize protests and evade the police. It could be used by companies with scattered agents on the field who could keep one another abreast of who's going where why etc. It could be used by bend bloggers to organize impromtu gatherings and provide vital intel on egging livejournalists.
It just can't be used by me, apparently, since I am on Cellular One and they are not listed as a supported service provider when you log in and try to enter your phone etc. It's a bummer, seeing as how I can send and receive SMSs', but who knows.

No, I mean literally, fuck an apple.
And not one of those little tiny ones, either.

Posted by: Erin Corliss at August 13, 2004 07:22 PMWell folks, this comment has every earmark of actually being from Erin. So I deleted the url he had initially pointed to (being all goatse or whatever) and gave him a shout. I suspect that my absolute lack of tact in a comment on Chris' blog may have upset him, since he keeps talking about Apples here. But my guestimate is that he's not like thoroughly pissed, just vaguely annoyed.. and probably bored enough to post something. If he was pissed I'd probably be typing at a blue screen by now.
