Gunfights, twitter and fring!

Andy Hadfield a local South African Blogger recently had an interesting experience when a gun fight broke out just meters from his bedroom window in a peaceful suburb in Johannesburg.

Andy recalls dropping to the floor and hiding under the bed with his wife as the gun fire rained outside, realizing that the bed was not the safest place to hide they then crawled to a safer location behind a solid wall, during this time Andy lost count as more than 40 shots where fired. The funniest thing is that during all this time Andy was doing something really cool while crawling around on the floor and hiding under bed? Would you believe it if we told you Andy was actually micro blogging the whole thing using fring’s twitter integration. If thats not cool, then what is?

fringsters read the full story of Andy and his wacky Gunfight, fring and twitter experience at this link.

Andy, this sure is the most interesting use of the fring Twitter combination we have ever heard of, thank you for sharing your story with the world ;-) Take care dude and “may the fring be with you”.

  1. Hehe. Thanks chaps. Was an interesting experience - mix between complete geek and ra ra big man shaking cellphone at the bad guys.

    Can you IMAGINE if Scoble did something like this? With 6000+ followers - that could get interesting.

    Love your app btw, just wish it wouldn’t drain my battery so quickly (e61i).
