Paris, January 12: It's not often that former British Prime Minister Tony Blair is not recognised. But his first foray into the world of mobile phone messaging left one friend puzzled.

Blair told a conference organised by France's ruling UMP party in Paris he got his first mobile phone six months ago.

"When I lived at Downing Street I never had one. I got my first mobile the day I left," said Blair, who is now a Middle East envoy.

"I sent an SMS (short message service) to a friend, but given my lack of technological knowledge I didn't realise the telephone hadn't identified me as the sender. I got an SMS back saying: 'But sorry, who are you?'", Blair said.

    As members of a "social bookmarking" community, del.icio.us sers can also see how many other people have bookmarked the same pages, and they can look at those users' bookmark collections to find other interesting online content.
