Ya, calling somebody on the mobile phone was very expensive until a few years ago, so everybody wrote smort messages for a fixed price. Now they’re mainly used for lots of dumb contests on TV and stuff. I hope all that dies when data flatrates for 3g smartphones are absolutely normal and we can all use instant messengers.

Oh, yeah, god, “SMSen”. I didn’t have a mobile, so I was constantly ducking into uni computer labs to send web-based SMS for coordination.

Of course, now SMS is so big here that we’ve got bus and train drivers getting into accidents while tapping out messages. Log in to see images!
