Wait, so SMS messaging is being overtaken by instant messaging. A service that is older than text messaging? And yet the Daily Fail calls it new?

Is it just me, or the Daily Fail being unusually stupid today?

InternetSecurityGuard: 1992? Text messaging is a lot older than that. Perhaps they are referring to text messaging being integrated with cellular/PCS handsets? Because we had those great big two way Motorola Advisor pagers back in the 80's.

KawaiiNot: SMS messaging will always be needed for sexting I imagine.

Makes me wonder if there are exhibitionists out there having cybersex on twitter.

Texting to a number using a T9 pad is going away. Meanwhile, TXT and IM are identical in use and content. The texting lifestyle has not gone away.
