According to "3" it has invented mobile blogging. This will come as quite a surprise to people like Nokia, which has had an Angling Times fishblog for mobile phone users for some time - and of course, there are even older ones.

If you like the idea, anyway, you can post and store photos and video clips online by simply dialling the shortcode number “3333”.

The images will be sent to “My Gallery” (http://www.three.co.uk/mygallery) and a new account will be immediately created. The images appear in chronological date order and users can go online to choose whether they want their gallery to be private or public. The URL can be passed around by email or SMS allowing other people to 'blog'.

But what's really weird about 3's blogging, is that it is trying to sell the resulting moblog to the rest of us: "You will get to see the pics of the stars before they appear in tomorrow's papers."

Excitedly, the company informs NewsWireless that "3's new picture blogging website, My Gallery, is being used by the 3 'poparazzi' to snap and share pics and video's of celebs at all sorts of events from the Star Wars premiere in Leicester Square last week to the Chelsea Football Club parade on Sunday to random celebs down the local pub."

So naturally, your Sniffer had a quick look at the glamorous one: shenannigans on the Chelsea bus. It's hot! No, really, it's hot - that's when your intrepid reporter got the warning that the sights we were going to see might be more than we could cope with.

Hold your breath: try this

No, don't click on it, it's too hot. Oh, well, don't say I didn't warn you...
