Texting? Why is it so popular?

animestan @animestan (321) • Canada 28 Jun 09

I have never understood the hype about texting. Recently with all the demand of QWERTY keyboards on their cell phones, texting competitions and such. I understand texting MAY be useful to send really short and quick msgs, but...

goolonga I guess its kind of hard to explain. It is one of those things that people love but don't seem to know why. Plus sometimes its just so much easier to text that to actually talk. Sometimes you might want to talk to someone but not know what to say, texting can...

Loen210 @Loen210 (1540) • United States 23 Jun 09

MySpace Overrated?

edwards1227 @edwards1227 (2) • United States 23 Jun 09

I believe that mySapce is highly overrated. I think the main purpose of the site is to have more drama in people's lives. Any opinions?

goolonga Myspace? Overrated? never. Myspace is for people to go and learn about friends, or just catch up, or just to pass on funny pics or see what the latest celebrity bozo is up to. So not really overrated, just over-used. Your know what is overrated? apple,...
