The worlds biggest snowball fight is being waged...albeit via mobile phone.

LONDON, England (PRWEB) December 21, 2004 -- A vast virtual mobile snowball fight is being waged as you read this, courtesy of SnowBallWars.com - a wacky winter idea from Andrew J Scott, entrepreneur and Founder of playtxt.net mobile social network. The largest snowball fight according to the Guinness Book of World records, involved 2,473 participants and took place at Triel, Switzerland in 2003 -- but weve already splattered them into oblivion" explained Andrew ...although admittedly, no real snow is involved...yet".

SnowBallWars.com allows users to send SMS text or animated MMS snowballs" at friends and family. The unsuspecting target receives the text or picture message on their mobile phone, but doesnt know who threw it until they login on SnowBallWars.com to read the private message from the thrower.

Users can throw upto 5 free SMS snowballs or 1 free MMS snowball; if they throw more they are charged 10p or 50p to their mobile phone. Its just a bit of Festive fun and games, and the profits from paid-for snowballs will go to the NSPCC" explained Andrew. [National Association for Prevention of Cruelty to Children

Over 100,000 SMS and MMS snowballs have so far been throw -- thats 40 times as many as Triel in 2003, but as Andrew admitted The people at Guinness werent convinced when I suggested we could claim the title -- they kept saying something about snowballs needing to be made of snow, to qualify".
