So, I checked out CSFTxt and got some ideas. CSFTxt is a txt2blog posting website. Anyone with a SMS or e-mail access can post to this website.
Try this. Send an SMS or e-mail to fadereu.csftxt@blogger.com. You must instantly see your message on the website. Your name will not get posted. It is an anonymous posting. Check my message for example.
I thought this is great, this lets any number of people post live information from the ground to a website. It is not limited by the members of the blog any more.
So, I thought how about using this to tackle issues like corruption. What if people started posting information on persons accepting bribes, their name, company and address. A quick SMS at the Transport department office for example, about a corrupt official. Will it not get visibility? Citizen vigilante. Just a thought....
Not a surprise, the website is already getting spammed. Volunteers will have to come in to catch the spammers and spambots. It can be done.

Ganshu, I've changed that temporary email Id because it was getting in too much trash. You're a member once you sign up, then go ahead and make your own! :)
