3. That was the number to text to get the VP announcement.

I don't know what texting shit to it does.

4. It's like a dialogue with a machine

5. You'll be the first to know that Barack wins!

I jest, I jest.

7. The Jumbotron has various messages about texting to 62262.

Like if you text your SCHDL, you get the DNC schedule and I think if you text your name and your reason for being a Democrat, you can tell the DNC why you're voting for Obama or something. It's like one of those fillers that run in movie theaters before they even start the trailers.

8. I'm 33 years old and seem like I can't

keep up with technology. Jesus it moves fast.

9. Not into this cell phone business.

For me, cell phones symbolize materialism and excess.

Is there a rotary number? LOL...

12. A friend sent me a text message

two months ago. I just realized I had the message when he called pissed I never responded.

13. I find it cheaper to have a cell, and no land line.

I no longer have to pay for long distance, and I have all the minutes I need on the basic plan since most of my calls are free evenings and weekends :)

11. It's the number for updates.

Before the whole VP thing, I was subscribed to general updates from that number. They probably have another specific code to text to get convention-specific updates too. I haven't gotten one tonight, so I assume that whatever word they tell you to txt indicates what updates you will get.
