Bluetooth Sex Fraud

Last year, British readers were shocked to see an article describing how bluetooth was used for finding easy sex. Thanks to wire services the story spread worldwide quickly. Now "toothing" has been revealed to be a giant hoax.
The article in the Register about the hoax also disses Rheingold's Smart Mobs story on the role of SMS in the Phillipines. The writer notes that the price of a voice call in the Phillipines drove people to use SMS. Had voice been cheaper, he writes, people organizing by "phone" would have been the non-story.
