Meeting People is Easy

Meeting People Is Easy: The latest fad in mobile-obsessed Britain is M-Parties. Participants register their mobile numbers with an organiser, and get SMS messages with hints as to the location of a secret party, often coming together before the party to work it out. A social killer app for a traditionally reserved society, or just a safe corporate yuppie version of the illegal fly-by-night raves of the Summer of Love?
