June 2007 (Medialink) -- America is in the midst of text messaging mania. More than just a popular means of communicating, text messaging can also be the best way to contact someone in times of emergency, such as when severe weather strikes or when critical information needs to be passed along quickly to a large group of people. They’re also an invaluable child safety tool, as text messages are an integral part of the Wireless AMBER Alerts™ program. Moreover, 94% of all text messages are opened and read, something that is crucial in light of the recent tragedies at Virginia Tech and in tornado ravaged Greensburg, Kansas.
