Though some suspect that this is merely a publicity stunt, it is an interesting concept if true.
If you took the photo of a Chihuahua at http://flickr.com/photos/benvoluto/216323527/, you have caused a Web sensation.

The mobile phone used to take that picture was stolen from Web designer Ben Clemens on an Amtrak commuter train in California in mid-August, he says.

Days later, thanks to software installed in the phone for Clemens’ use, the Chihuahua picture and other snaps of a woman and children were automatically posted to Clemens’ photo Web site for the world to see.

    I'd expect if it were a publicity stunt then the user would be having a bit more luck, heh.

    that's clever if it was a marketing stunt. if not, oh well. at least nobody can be original in trying to do that again. that sorta keeps everyone from caring in the future.
