Maybe Texting Will Catch On In The US After All

Textwalking, textriding, textblading - the American College of Emergency Physicians says don't do it. “People are texting and they trip and fall on their faces – usually people in their 20s. We see a lot of face, chin, mouth [and] eye injuries from falls.”

More interestingly, text messaging continues to spread in American culture - when something like this is picked up and carried on TV, radio and print, it's moving into the mainstream. Hopefully, they'll be reporting on PhindMe next - think we can get the medical community to issue a warning about us? "Warning: PhindMe causes dangerous over-crowding in local businesses."
