Texting away..

New York - It's a sport only for the fleet of thumb with a ruthless dedication to punctuation. And while competitive text messaging may not have quite gained Olympic status, the hundreds of mostly teenagers who took part in the US championships in New York Saturday could think of little but the $25 000 (about R177 000) prize money. Some 250 challengers shunned the warmest day of the year for a dark ballroom where they battled it out for a chance to take on the reigning West Coast champion, 21-year-old Eli Tirosh, for the title of United States Texting Champion.IOL
