I know which of my friends I can and cannot text and never ever text anyone unless I ask them first. <BR/><BR/>I sold some Twins tickets once to a girl, we were going to meet outside the stadium to make the exchange. I left her a VM saying I was there, and she texted me that she was on her way. I was floored that any person would have the balls to do that, but apparently it's quite common.<BR/><BR/>No one has manners anymore. The world is mostly going to hell.

I couldn't get her to stop. Because she was on the go a lot, I guess. My mortgage lender friend was so big into text too. He'd send out mass text just to rouse business.Honduras Sprouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816093647072132150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888451656106824344.post-12708636264418630152007-08-29T22:02:00.000-07:002007-08-29T22:02:00.000-07:00I'm more likely to email someone than call them si...I'm more likely to email someone than call them since I can organize my thoughts and let the person I'm emailing think before responding. For things needing short answers, text is the way to go. Status update type stuff. <BR/><BR/>The biggest abuse I see of text is using it for to-do type emails. It doesn't pair with to-dos or calendars like email, so that's just wrong.Ed Kohlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14974241571519355684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888451656106824344.post-67534231129665663892007-08-29T15:52:00.000-07:002007-08-29T15:52:00.000-07:00I love text messaging.

But I don't have a job at which I sit in front of a computer all day, so it's much easier for me to text than email. <BR/><BR/>Although, that's also why I want to get a phone with email/web browsing capabilities. Maybe then I'd email more.Jeniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17033673767095961424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888451656106824344.post-10596770026824231602007-08-29T13:42:00.000-07:002007-08-29T13:42:00.000-07:00OMG, get with the times! ;)I kid. Although I know ...OMG, get with the times! ;)<BR/><BR/>I kid. Although I know it's the thing with the kids these days. Imagine if you'd learned email via your phone instead of your computer. It's like that.<BR/><BR/>I also prefer email, but I suppose if I had one of those fancy phones that makes it a lot easier to actually send text messages (and emails), I'd do more of that.<BR/><BR/>Actually, I'd probably just Twitter more.Erica Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17184052503467037632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888451656106824344.post-87672710438516945602007-08-29T12:39:00.000-07:002007-08-29T12:39:00.000-07:00My dad is a big science and technology guy, and he...My dad is a big science and technology guy, and he says most college age people now prefer text messages to email. Why? Email is too slow according to them.<BR/><BR/>Also, more and more people are having their email forwarded to their cellphones. <BR/><BR/>Personally I prefer email, but I don't know if that will save me.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01111893364147445374noreply@blogger.com
