Shock your non-geek friends with this

Seen this yet? It’s a Satellite Flash App that pupports to track any mobile phone in the world…

The concept being you send it to a friend and tell them you’ve just tracked their phone… they then try it out and… for a few moments, are absolutely shocked…

It’s just a wee joke.

(Thanks for sending, Paul.)

  • They say they don’t store numbers in their privacy statement… but then, so do most of the other number harvesting sites!
