Again it is time to celebrate the spring and have Wappu. On 1st of May we, Finns, gather into the streets and parks to have some champagne and have fun together with friends and family. You might have heard about our party style; it is what it is so it includes lot of booze… But we also want to share the moments and views with others who are not with us (or if they are it is not a problem either :-)) and we send tens of text messages and multimedia messages during the day. Usually this is done by sending the same message to all of the friends at the same time. We take fuzzy party pictures and send bad jokes or then just wish the best day for someone special. And some of us receives as many messages…There is only one problem when doing all this. When you choose the names from your contacts list you need to remember and concentrate who was the last added person so that you don’t add him/her twice into the group message. The contacts list could have indication telling what name is already inserted or the list could be filtered to include only names that are not yet added. Very challenging situation if you have tasted some champagne….Anyway, have fun and take care!
PS. added this pic of our wappu champagne & strawberry cake at work.

A friend of mine told about this mobile app released by VTT, the Technical Research Centre of Finland: http://www.vappunaamari.com/ (in Finnish only, sorry)

Oh, but you can easily do this.
1. Write drunken Vappu message
2. Click in the To box, it brings up a list of contacts
3. Scroll to the first person you want to send to, click the middle button so it adds an X in the box on the left
4. Scroll to the next person, click to add an X
5. Repeat
6. When you've chosen all the lucky recipients, click left soft key OK
7. All the names are now in the To box, so press the green key to send the message
8. Drink some more bubbly
Hyvää Vappua!
