To me, the fascinating thing about the internet is that it helps me to communicate. That’s why I am using emails, Twitter, XING, LinkedIn, Facebook, Yahoogroups, Flickr, the like. And yes, this blog, too …
There is one kind of communication that has become a little overlooked in recent years. (I am not talking about ordinary, non-digital, face-to-face communication. I like that, too).

I am talking about text messaging, also called SMS by some. Sometimes, text messages are a great way to communicate. Forget about smart phones. Forget about WhatsApp. I am talking about a plain old text message, 160 characters, nothing else. It goes directly to a person’s mobile phone, it is clear, concise and will even work on your grandmother’s mobile phone which hasn’t had a software update for 20 years, and never will have one.
One of the pioneers of this kind of communication is Reiner. Three cheers to www.rusch-hour.com
