There's an app for messaging someone else who's sitting on the loo

Smartphone addicts may be using their devices while sitting on the toilet, but does that mean they want to chat to one another?

Three quarters of smartphone owners admit to using their devices while sitting on the toilet, so perhaps the only surprise is that it's taken this long for an app to link them up to other random people also perching on the loo.

Released by developer Ricardo Gruber, the free iPhone app Pooductive offers anonymous messaging, with the hook that everyone you encounter will be similarly occupied.
