Addict Mobile PR Nightmare
Nothing wrong with offering MMS-powered photoblogs. It’s when users start doing the unthinkable that a great idea such as the Addict Mobile Blog becomes a PR nightmare.

Addict Mobile Scandal!
As the cliche goes, porn drives all technology.
Libre lang kase mag MMS sa knaila ngayon. May promo eh. hehehe
Shouldn’t they be socially, morally responsible? Kumikita kasi sila bawat click sa mga pics kung gamit ang cellphone, kaya pinababayaan na lang siguro.
Kates: Yeah, Smart’s responsible. Why they let people post photos directly to their site can be explained by sheer stupidity.
Yuga: Nah, even if it actually cost money to post photos, I think these people would’ve still put up those pictures. Because, who can resist the chance to put porn on one of the sites of a powerful telco?
They should have seen this coming (no pun intended).
I hear these kinds of photos have surfaced in their blog in the past but were quickly removed. What happened now? They should have made the blog better moderated, better filtered.
tsk tsk tsk iling. …
I could imagine technophobes telling their kids:
“O, sabi ko na nga, masama yang MMS na iyan eh! Hwag ka na mag-cellphone!”
That’s obviously the wrong way to treat the issue.
Let the technology find its good use.
And for perverts to find their own place, wherever that may be.
ka edong
Everyone wants to be a star! Hahaha. Sick.
There’s another Smart service called cute crowd… more wholesome but still fun!
kumikita talaga sila diyan.
yes,you are right,everyone wants to be star.
