Someone found a use for a .mobi mobile site! Fight knife crime...

A really useful dot-mobi site? it could be - it's designed to encourage kids in London to fight knife crime by using their cameraphones.

The site, 2free, was set up by campaigner who has started broadcasting - over mobile Internet - films to kids who feel threatened by crime. Site founder Nokuthula Sibanda first announced the service on Facebook with a cheery: 

Hey everyone, I am gald to say that after a few challenges on the way, which by God's grace we overcame, the 2Free service is now officially launched and is accessible to all young people via their mobile phones by simply going to www.2free.mobi.

She described the site as "a video mobile phone service that is aimed at all young people (11–18, 18-25 year olds) in the fight against crime, providing real life, crime prevention videos, films and docudramas to all young people for FREE."

The aim of 2Free.mobi "is to be instrumental in reducing the level of youth on youth violence on the streets of London and the major cities of the UK through providing graphic, thought-provoking video content and aspiring messages direct to all young people via their mobile phone, a device that all young people have with them 24/7."

The appearance of the site is as revolutionary as its aims, and there's a WAP version at www.2free.mo.
