Dreadful Nonsense

"I've read your blog. it's really funny. you should write a column." - Jon Ronson


I am, it has very recently been stated, quite a suspicious person. I'm also mildly technophobic - I can blog, certainly, but I couldn't tell you how or why it's working. I've only just been introduced to the 'Profiles' section on my mobile, and have no idea how to set the speed dials - so when I read this posted on a discussion group, I thought they were making it up.

"This is truly amazing and bloody handy to know about.
If you've ever heard a song on the radio/TV and wanted to buy it but not known who the artist is here's how you find out.
Dial the middle keys on your mobile (2580) and point your phone towards the music for 15 seconds. Within minutes you'll get a text message with the name of the track and artist. It costs 50p and you don't have to register...
Apparently it's taken two and a half years of complex maths and programming so software can recognise the difference between a cover version and an original song..."


Unless this site is part of the elaborate hoax, it must be true. Someone email me and tell me if it works, please. I'm too cheap.
