<p>I was going to put the new comments at the bottom as well&#8230; .. but do me a favor and think this through before answering the poll below. Does it make more sense to have the <strong>new</strong> comments at the top (where they are now) or <strong>new </strong>comments at the bottom?</p>
<p>Which would you prefer?</p>

<p>In 1985 a researcher in Germany, Friedhelm Hillebrand, practiced typing out <a href="http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/07/10/blurb/" class="liinternal">blurbs</a>, or short questions and answers, on his typewriter and he was able to always get the point across in 160 characters or less.  So he set out to make that the standard length for the text-messages that we all use today.</p>
<p>The technology at the time only allowed them to fit 128 characters in, but knowing what he knew, he did everything he could to<img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-4249" title="fried-h" src="http://media.hotforwords.com/wp-content/uploads/fried-h-117x150.jpg" alt="fried-h" width="117" height="150" /> squeeze in an extra 32 characters, to bring it to the 160 characters that we are all familiar with today.  <a href="http://www.hotforwords.com/twitter/" class="liinternal">Twitter</a>, is limited to 140 characters, due to space being needed for the person&#8217;s username&#8230; and I think we all do a pretty good job of getting the point across in even that limited space!</p>
<p>Here is this <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2009/05/invented-text-messaging.html" target="_blank" class="liexternal">article over at the Los Angeles Times.</a></p>
<p>Oh.. and can you figure out who wrote the postcard that I am using for an example?</p>

<p>Interesting article in the Washington Post today about teens and texting.  Teens with cellphones <strong>AVERAGE 2,272 TEXT MESSAGES A MONTH</strong>!</p>
<p>I think that&#8217;s quite a lot.  And it does make me wonder what the effects are on the teens who are constantly being distracted by texts from various friends.</p>
<p>I remember when I had a friend who called me 20-30 times a day just to ask me random questions.. it really drove me crazy as I couldn&#8217;t focus on anything for very long without getting distracted by a phone call from this person.  The minute I got this person under control, everything started to happen for me and I started to achieve major success!</p>
<p>Without having any &#8220;me time&#8221; to think about things for any length of time, without interruption, must have some kind of effect on people.  What do you all think?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29328966/" title="texts" target="_blank" class="liexternal">Here is the article I am talking about.</a></p>
