(keitai-l) Re: Earthquake Noopie for your Keitai...

Or a SARS Noopie... send out an alert for Shinjuku and enjoy a quiet 
shopping day :)

Seriously, I briefly saw the headline somewhere "mobile phones used to 
send SARS alerts" in HK or whatever. Some guy makes money by sending 
these alerts out. I don't know whether they reported because they 
thought it is a really good idea or a really stupid idea...
