Youth: Text in Knife Crime Concerns
So I’m back to school this week; and during my free lessons, I often find myself aimlessly wandering around. I probably shouldn’t be, as I have mountains of work to do, but it’s certainly more fun. But it turns out my aimless journeys around my over-crowded school can come in handy… And I came across [...]
Do I resent my mobile?
Do I resent my mobile? I’ve been told once or twice that I resemble something of an old woman or more precisely an “Old Bagâ€Â. True, I do have my “old person†tendencies; but I do try to remain youthful as much as possible… Seeing as I’m only seventeen. It has however hit me; I’m [...]
Teamer uses text & email to organise sports teams
I’ve been waiting for one of these. For a long time I’ve met lots of different people who have been working on the concept of designing a system that will help sports team managers organise games and player availability. I’ve never been a sports manager — in fact I haven’t actually ever played in a [...]
Study suggests UK Phone Users send 217 million texts per day
I just came across this article on The Daily Telegraph, which says that as per a study conducted among UK’s mobile phone users, the amount of total text messages exchanged every single day counts up to roughly 217 million. Yes, that’s right, 217 MILLION texts in a DAY. The one you just sent a while [...]
‘Help me’ via text with the Samaritans
I got a text message today from what reads like a young teenager in no small amount of distress. Goodness knows how they got my number – but it is public and associated with plenty of articles on text bullying services… So I’m assuming that they got hold of me that way. I got the [...]
Text to screen in Churches; Roaming to heaven expensive or free to all believers?
Earlier in the decade, I spent the best part of a couple of years really getting wound up by my shoes sticking to the floor in nightclubs all across the UK with our text-to-screen service. Perhaps I was missing my calling. I picked up this note from the Atlanta Journal about how text is being [...]

Textopoly moves the marketplace with just 250 text messages
Steve Yzerman is a name that will mean next to nothing to international readers of Mobile Industry Review. A quick Google reveals that he was a rather good Ice Hockey player playing with a team by the name of the Detroit Red Wings. Steve has been retired since 2006 and is now President of the [...]
The lady who taught America to text
I just bumped into Cristy Burgan, VP Marketing Solutions for Acision. It was Cristy who wrote the script for Ryan Seacrest, presenter of American Idol, that taught America to text. American Idol was one of the very first text-enabled live television shows – and that got millions of Americans picking up their handsets and scrolling [...]
Zambians mourn President’s death over SMS
Text messages are cool, aren’t they? Expressing yourself in words and hurrying it across to your loved ones was never so interesting. Over the years, as technology advances, text messages and the technology behind it has been put to use in a lot of places. Be it twitter, reality-show votes, ebay update notifications or simply [...]
Ottumwa parents get text messaging. You know Ottumwa, right?
If you live in the Outtumwa school district — you know Ottumwa — down Iowa way? Well, you’re lucky. You can sign up to get updates from your child’s school by text. So reports one of those amusingly-named American television stations (“KTVO”). The Ottumwa School District believes that parents will be better informed of cancellations, [...]
