Short And Sweet

Gmail users can now send text messages to cell phones. I’ve never had much use for texts because I couldn’t compose them independently. But now that I can send them from my computer, texting might serve a purpose. For example, I can taunt my friends who are still sitting in traffic while I’ve already arrived home from my 20-minute commute. Or I can send them random updates like “at my computer”, “still at my computer”, and then “please, anybody, talk to me”.
