Insead of using my blackberry to text message I would like the option to send an text message from my computer.

I believe that texting serves as a way for shy men and/or women to communicate and express what they are truly feeling without feeling embarrassed in doing so.  People set up dates while texting, set up meetings while texting, and people break up by texting.  Break up? What? No this is not acceptable.  I find myself dealing with a lot of men that only text and have lost the concept of communicating using the rare form of dialing a telephone number in order to speak with one another.  Why has talking on the telephone become so obsolete in this day and age? 

The day where people have home phones has vanished, more and more people have cellular phones and have done away with a home telephone service.  Well with home telephone service you can’t text.  If we cant text then we don’t want a telephone.  God forbid. 

Though most couples probably wouldn’t attempt to take their relationship to the next level via wireless communication, a growing number of Americans are flirting, setting up dates and even whispering (er, spelling out?) sweet nothings through the digital medium of short message service (SMS).

Sent between cellphones, Blackberries or other handheld devices, these mini-missives of 160 characters or less offer potential dates a fast, informal way to connect. But while text messages can be endearingly short and sweet, men and women often have polarized opinions about how they should be used in romantic situations.  In speaking with Stephanie, age 27 she states: “When someone asked me to dinner for the first time over text message, I found it more than a little insulting,” “So I sent him a reply suggesting that he pick up the phone and ask me out properly. I never heard from him again.”

Mixed signals

Though men primarily use messaging as a tool for managing their relationships, women often view text as another way to foster emotional interaction, according to UK research presented last July at the International Pragmatics Association conference. And though both sexes will revise plans, break dates or even end relationships over text, “men are a lot more likely to do so,” says Simeon Yates of Sheffield Hallam University, the study’s lead researcher. He says the text gets the point across “without a lengthy and uncomfortable explanation.”

Fast, cheap and easy, text messaging is rapidly replacing some cell phone calls between romantic partners. Like a burger from a drive-thru window, text offers near-instant gratification. However, it isn’t always satisfying — or healthy — in the long run.

“There’s nothing wrong with sending a quick note if you’re busy or just want to flirt, but it’s hard to have any real interaction over text,” says Greg Behrendt, best-selling co-author of He’s Just Not That Into You. “In the buffet of communication, text messaging should be a side dish, not the entree.” But some text “addicts” have turned the missives into the meat and potatoes of their social interaction. Some women say they have had entire relationships that started, flourished and finally extinguished via text (and its first cousin, the instant message). Others extol the virtues of a medium that allows them to break “the rules” they had learned to keep a potential mate interested.

“If you don’t know someone that well — or if you don’t want to make a move in a big way — a text message is a much easier and more innocent way to be flirtatious than a phone call,” “A phone call implies a big gesture; a text message seems cute and effortless.”

But it’s men — the gender long accused of not communicating enough — who have developed the deepest respect for the power of text messaging. Sam Nashag, 31, a Marine stationed in San Diego who just left for Iraq, is a heavy texter who uses the messages to gauge whether potential dates are legitimately interested or just being polite. “With the threat of rejection being so high, you want to get a feel for the situation before asking for that first date,” he says.

Nashag, who describes text as “the best invention since the ATM,” says it allows him to avoid direct rejection, because the recipient can simply ignore his overtures. And on the flip side, he doesn’t have to offer a reason when canceling plans, because there’s no room for details. Text “gets you freed up in that moment and then you can push off dealing with an explanation.”

Though Nashag’s fellow Marine Derek Filipe, 26, balks at the idea of asking for a first date through text, he’s not opposed to arranging the next get-together that way. “Only one of the women I’ve dated has ever called me and said that sending text messages really annoys her,” he says. But rather than give up his preferred form of communication, “I just send her a text and wait for her to call me back.”

Playing by the rules

Text has emerged as a way for some daters to do less, act as if they care less and, in doing so, gain the upper hand in a new relationship.

Because men and women use text strategically, “you shouldn’t automatically assume someone is blowing you off if they’re sending text messages,” Behrendt says.  Etiquette expert Ceri Marsh, co-author of The Fabulous Girl’s Guide to Decorum, has a less tolerant view of the text-as-courting ritual.

“It’s a pretty bad sign if the person pursuing you can’t be bothered to pick up the phone and ask you out,” she says. “The person is showing you they’re not really ready to get involved.”

She agrees that text can be a good icebreaker and handy for relaying such things as a time change. But she says it should not be used for more emotional messages.

“Couples have arguments over text because of a simple misunderstanding in wording or tone. They’ll say ‘What exactly did you mean by that emoticon?’ “

Clayton, the student whose boyfriend revealed he loved her via text, says they used to duke it out over text. The angry messages would “fly back and forth for hours” until she got frustrated and turned off her phone.

As with any new line of communication, the ground rules for text’s uses are still being established by the first generation of users. But just because text messaging is a modern invention doesn’t mean its users should do away with “old-fashioned” courtesy.  Technology may change, but thoughtfulness never goes out of style.

While I probably stay more connected than a lot of people, I can honestly say that I meet people that probably text, tweet, talk and blog in their sleep. While I have not gone to those lengths I must say there are times that I feel a bit of anxiety if I have not been on my computer for a bit longer than normal.

Enter the next phase in staying connected via the world of Social Media and your cell phone. If you are one of those individuals that simply has to stay connected, wants to be available at a moments notice and makes the cell phone company rethink their unlimited texting program, you don’t want to miss this.

Chat to Text is the latest program to come out allowing you to receive text messages directly on your cell phone from Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, and your own personal website to name a few. In a very short period of time there will not be a Social Media site that Chat to Text has not tied into allowing you to receive text messages directly on your cell phone. The basic idea is that you can place a text box on your Facebook, Myspace, LinkedIn or Bebo page that allows your friends to send and receive chat messages from your profile (or your own website) to your cell phone as text.

For those of you that are immediately thinking that “I don’t want my cell number on the web”, no worries. The creators of the application have created the application such that a user simply needs to click on your link and they are then able to type in a Chat message that in turn shows up as a text message. Way too cool, right. Think about all of those parents that can’t carry on a conversation with their children because they are too busy sending text messages to their BFF.

If there is a downside to this whole setup it is that while Chat to Text is a fun little application there is a monthly service that goes along with the application. Now for the upside to all of this Chat to Texting is that while there is a monthly subscription of $5.99, you can earn a commission on anyone that joins Chat to Text as a result of your referral.

My guess is that there are not to many teens and young adults that would not be able to turn a handfull of their friends on to this little application and have the monthly fee covered by their commissions. As a general rule I will say there are millions of Teens and young adults that would LOVE to be able to get text messages on their cell phone sent by someone who is currently looking at their page on MySpace, FaceBook, or some other social networking site. Being in immediate contact with friends who are on their web page, even when they are away from their computer is now a reality.

Now for the business side of the story. If you have a web site and want potential customers to be able to send you a text instantly from your web site, this may be something you will want to use yourself. While there are some very neat applications that will let potential customers chat with you while on your website that only works when you are at your computer. Now imagine for just $6 per month potential customers can contact you at anytime. For those of you that are savvy business professionals, network marketers, networkers in general I am certain that you probably have enough contacts that you will be able to generate the commissions to cover the cost of your monthly subscription and then some.

Chat to Text has taken a huge step in advancing today’s communication while making the world a little smaller. As mentioned above it is ready to implement on the 3 major social networking sites and working on more. For the time being this service is only available in the USA and Canada but they are testing / working with the phone carriers in Australia and the UK to broaden it’s market.

For those of you that would like a bit more information there is a link to a great little video that will give you more details on my website.

It’s Friday afternoon. The weather is gorgeous, and all Terry can think about is getting finished with work, and spending a hot night with her husband. Between the kids, and the dog and keeping the house, his job and her working part time, she really has only seen him in passing all week on the way in to take a shower.

She is feeling frisky as she watches the clock tick towards 5 o’clock. She can’t call him, her co-workers would over-hear and she would be mortified. She can’t e-mail him; the company has access to her mailbox! The most private way to convey her idea for a post-work romp is a sexy text message. She grabs her cell phone, and texts to his number, @wrk, feelin 6Y. U? She waits anxiously for a response, and lets out a delighted squeal when she reads it. “ALIwanisu”, he writes back. And now the clock is moving even more slowly, as she anticipates the activities in her bedroom when she gets home.

Terry and her husband are eager participants in a growing trend among text messagers. According to an on-line poll conducted by the About website, 17% of respondents use text messaging mostly to arrange sex encounters. What was once a pebble thrown at a window late at night, has been replaced electronically with, “GYPO” or, translated. “Get Your Pants Off” on a 1″ x 2″ screen.

Romantic or tacky? Who cares! Certainly not the people that are participating! Sexy text messages are the 2007 version of a booty call. And it really is ideal.

If you are unavailable, or just not in the mood, you can ignore the text, and avoid any embarrassing excuse making. If you are at a party, and want to get busy fast, just text your mate/friend/toy, “let’s get outta here” and no one at the party will be the wiser. Then of course, there is the “forbidden” hook-up with the hot and sexy ex-boyfriend that you promised yourself, and your best girlfriends that you swear you would NOT drunk dial! Promise! Just text that little hottie for a rendez-vous, and you can keep your dignity. It’s a win for everybody!

How can a seemingly impersonal exchange become such a popular method for conveying one’s erotic desires? For one, there is the privacy factor: no one else but you and the recipient of the message will know. That is unless you text your Aunt Bernice by accident. Therefore, it is highly recommend you double check the “send to” number before you press “send message”. Sexy text messages cannot be taken back.

Second is the fact that a person’s inhibitions may be somewhat more relaxed when they don’t have to come up with flowery adjectives to get the message across. “Wanna meet?”, on a text message has an entirely different implied meaning as a text message, than if conveyed by voice or e-mail. And that may be all that little hottie could read anyway.

Last may be of course, the convenience. You could be in an elevator, in a cab, on the way home in your car or watching your kids at the playground. These are times when stealth and convenience are of the utmost importance. Whenever and wherever the mood strikes you, your erotic desire can be conveyed.

Some couples even have a “code” for their mate when the mood strikes. One woman in particular texts, “Jenna Jameson is in town” to her husband and he instantly knows EXACTLY what she wants.

I’m trying to send a text message from my American cell phone to a friend’s American cell phone but he is in Russia at the moment. Should it go through?

I like a girl and have feelings for her but I get really nervous around her. I am normally a shy person, not all of the time, but around girls I like I am. Would it be alright to tell her I have feelings for her through a text message or should I not go there?
