Toothing Blog

Big news! Last night (well, actually, at 12.30AM this morning) I was on BBC Radio Five Live (a national radio station here in the UK), talking about Toothing. It was a fair and balanced piece I thought - if you're quick you might be able to listen to it here. A couple of good links from around the place too - one from Social Software and one from mediaTIC. Let us know if you see Toothing mentioned anywhere else. There's another media appearance in the works too, so watch this space!

Didn't want to mention it before it appeared, but a little while ago I did an interview with a guy from Wired. Well, the article is up, and I think it's pretty good! Go read it!

Toothing was originally conceptualized as a naughty site for the use of bluetooth mobile phones in order to score. However, this craze in 2004 and 2005 was proven to be a hoax. Right now, I am reviving this blog to feature technology, TV shows and sports.
