On Thanksgiving day, I received a number of SMS from friends ranging from “Happy Thanksgiving” to “Gobble gobble” to “Murder those turkeys!”
It’s an example of viral spread. 20 people would receive a sms and then they would send the sms to 20 of their friends and so forth. But inherently, it’s nearly an anonymous impersonal message. Granted, I should feel thankful that I was selected among the many people in one’s phone book to receive the txt msg.
But then again, maybe I should wait until xmas or new years and see…
Do you remember back in the day…on icq, the minute it hit 12:00am on New Years, we’ll be flooded with ICQ messages..
“HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!”
Happy Thanksgiving Tink!
:D
