Treasure My Text in public.

"Treasuremytext allows you to store SMS Messages (text messages) from your mobile phone online [...] generates a realtime RSS stream of saved messages for viewing by others.: "You gotta realise what u want from me, i ain't here for you to walk on, i'm happy the way things r goin but don't really know where i stand." [Incidentally much of the text here is NSFW.]

Crumbs ... you've got a point there. It's not really real time is it?

Although the RSS feed says they were sent on the 21st August so it looks like someone whose had some RSS knocking about since the season and is just uploading them now.

I particularly liked:

You are everything to me. I love you more than my life. your loving wiff, Elle.

It was all going so well until the penultimate word.

And here I was just typing out my treasured text messages and saving them in a text document. Boy, is my face red.

Oddly enough, it's actually easier to text the whole, real word in text messaging than to use the stupid simplifications (like "4real"). And yet people still insist on looking ignorant.

I know someone who adds txt spk to their predictive text dictionary.

It's not ignorant, it's l33t (well it finds its origins there at least). Which I suppose is cool to some. But then Dungeons and Dragons was cool to some.
