BlueJackin’.

13 year old Ellie-G has set up her own web site which features a new craze called Bluejacking. What is Bluejacking, I hear you ask. Well, in the lady’s own words –

‘Bluejacking is when you send vCards and pictures etc. from your Bluetooth enabled device (most commonly mobile phones) to other Bluetooth devices in the vincinity. For example: On their phone, a message could popup saying “‘Hello, you’ve been bluejacked’ received via Bluetooth” or something along those lines. For most ‘victims’ they will have no idea as to how the message appeared on their phone.

Sounds like fun, if only to watch for the puzzled expression on the face of a random stranger in a crowd. Apparently this is the world’s first site dedicated to said sport!

The photo above, taken from the site, shows a ‘victim’ – in pink and white stripes – being bj’d live at Waterloo station in London. Read the Stories link for more.
