MoSoSos: Mobile Social Software services.

I checked in to dodgeball, she said, and “I got an alert that ‘so-and-so has a crush on you, and he is at X bar, go and say hi.’” she said.

So McGunigle went to the bar, and by coincidence, it was the same guy she’d just seen on the subway. Like her, he’d been too shy to make an approach, but not to send a text message.

Nor do I. I host on Geocities, which serves ads.
So why not try rootshell.be. They give a free *nix account and currently they often have problems with quota system. So technically unlimited space, no banner ads, amazing uptime… blah… blah… blah.
S Anand 8 Mar 2005 3:06 pm: www.freestarthost.com is what I am testing right now.
S Anand 8 Mar 2005 4:47 pm: But in the meantime, the ads seem to have vanished!
Dhar 8 Mar 2005 6:54 pm: Yeah.. that is right. I wonder what happened.

Some time soon, we’ll be using something like VisorPhone or Stinger – which are like handheld computers with a mobile phone. Forget the keyboard. We’ll be talking to them!
