April fool, or not

It’s been fun today, amid all the April foolery around, to see techie blog Techcrunch apparently confused (at least for a few moments) by the Times (London) report of the launch of a new mobile social networking service ‘Sniffu.com‘, which allows users to track friends’ location. I may, of course, be proved to be wrong but for me the quote from CEO Brian Levin, “You can ‘sniff’ yourself if you really need to,” seemed to clinch the giveaway.

My pre-teen household experienced its first Fool’s Day spoof at 7.00 this morning. It seems 12-year-olds are not only old enough to own phones, but also to work out how to withhold caller ID

A cute spoof arrived from Blyk (click ‘Y’ for air-freshening scent delivered directly through your phone’s speaker).
