Monster in your pocket?

Just downloaded the (free so why not?) iHobo 'app' from Depauluk.com to promote awareness about the lifestyles of the homeless and raise money for the cause (via an onapp donating feature).
It's He's basicly a human Tamagotchi that gets into hobo scrapes from time to time. Push notifications let you know when he is being abused by kids or getting fucked up on drugs etc. I have mine on my desk, open, where I can keep an eye on the little blighter... oh he's just wondered off to get a "hot drink", yeah OK then, sure, if he comes back drunk he's can forget about getting his bloody sleeping bag tonight...

Great use of App here people, more of these please and I will definitely be considering this media more immediately when speaking to clients in future.
