Description

Playtxt was the first mobile social software (MoSoSo) network to support six degrees of separation. It was created in 2002 by Andrew Scott, a UK based entrepreneur. It was a mobile community with social networking functionality that could be utilized worldwide. A user could log his or her location anywhere on the globe by SMS from their mobile cellphone. The network then uses a six degrees of separation algorithm to provide contact with friends of friends who may be physically nearby. The network was free to join and use. The service acted as a pilot site for the company's 'Angelia' software which now forms the messaging platform which powers Rummble.

As one of the first mobile social network applications playtxt was a pioneer of many of the features now available as standard across MoSoSo services; including anonymous text messaging and location based services.
