SARS. just kidding, i’m not blogging about that, well not directly at least. i thought it was interesting to learn that the news about sars was first spread by sms and not traditional print media (you know china, secrecy, censorship). that’s pretty cool. more cool is that the government in hk sent out a text message to 6 million phones to assure the population that the rumor of hong kong being quarantined was just a hoax. i’m still waiting until sms hits it big here…
