'Flirtexting' Teaches Proper Mobile Wooing Techniques
If the dating scene leaves you feeling isolated and lovelorn, don't fret. To pull you out of that hole of self-pity, two enterprising young women have published a guide for how to "text your way to love," titled 'Flirtexting.' Directed toward women, but applicable to men as well, the book addresses age old mysteries of romance and woo, such as when and how to reply to flirtateous text messages.These textperts seem to think that they're doing everyone a glorious service, telling CNN they needed to "put a name to this cultural phenomenon." But, we still don't have the courage to ask someone for their number. Where's the help there? Now, we're off to finish our book on responsible sexting techniques -- predictably titled 'Safe Sexting' -- before someone else beats us to it. [From: CNN]
Teen Texting Craziness
Syracuse University professor Laurence Thomas made news last year for walking out of the classroom whenever his students disobeyed his "no texting in class" rule. Wouldn't the kind of student who would text in class be happy to have class canceled?
In January, 13-year-old Californian Reina Hardesty sent 14,528 text messages from her cell phone. Fortunately for her daddy, he had her on an unlimited text plan.
Two high school cheerleaders in Seattle were suspended from school in December when school officials found out that they had taken nude pictures of themselves on their cell phones and, mistakenly or not, wound up with them circulating through the football locker room. The girls' parents have filed suit against the school. You'd think they would just let the embarassment die quietly.
In December, while on a class trip (according to an Internet rumor anyway), the above message appeared on 18-year-old Elizabeth Frisinger's phone after mistakenly texting her dad, back home in Cleveland, that she'd just lost her virginity. Whoops!
Outdoing Reina Hardesty, 15-year-old Ohioan Paige Hornev averages 15,000 text messages a month. That comes out to the impressive, or pitiful, average of 500 text messages a day.
Thinking about Emily Jenning's texting abilities just makes our thumbs hurt. The Vancouver, British Columbia teen pumped out an absurd 41,600 text messages in the course of a single month -- we did some quick calculations and that works out to about one text every minute.
