Virtual Protest Ring Tone... and other suggestions
What a fabulous suggestion, on Don Park's Daily Habit's blog, to create a Virtual Protest Ring Tone in addition to a stop RFID Moblog , (cf Virtual Protest Moblog)
"If I was organizing it, I would create a Virtual Protest Ring Tone, something that say something about the protest, a jingle or a chant, whatever. Let people show their support by downloading it and installing it on their cellphones so people around the supporters will notice and ask: Why does your phone say STOP RFID instead of ringing?
Then every phonecall received turns into an opportunity to further the cause. Charge for the ring tone if the cause is worthy and in need of money. For TextAmerica, it would generate publicity and encourage meaningful use of ring tones.
An obvious variation is "Howard Dean for President" ring tone."
This really opens up opportunities for ringtones and ringback tones such as TheFeature.com's suggestion for company jingles. Who said ringtones were just for kids?
