• Teens text. Period. Asheem Badshah, the teen-aged president of Scriptovia.com, an essay-sharing web site, says: “For me even IM died, and was replaced by text messaging. Facebook will replace e-mail for communicating with certain people.”
• Catherine Cook, co-founder of MyYearbook.com, said she still emails some friends, but she sends thousands of text messages a month: “I don’t know any teen who doesn’t have a phone with them all the time.”
