About Us
My Textalk is an online community created for text messaging fans. We also provide an online store for the My Textalk pocket glossaries. The terms are being collected online at mytextalk.com by students ages 10-16. As you create your own language, they add to our printed glossaries sold online and in retail stores. But there is more. Not only will you receive the most up-to-date glossaries, but each version is customized by gender.
Both girls and boys are very interested in knowing what boys are all about. Some of the key areas you wanted to know more about:
- How boys feel about girls?
- Why do boys like mean girls?
- Why are they so quiet?
- Why are they so shy?
- What kinds of girls do they like most (athletic, smart, popular, pretty, rich)?
Share your questions and insights about the opposite genders' attitudes and feelings online at mytextalk.com, and our publishers will capture key insights and publish in the glossaries with all the definitions. Each quarter new versions will be edited and published with new and captivating thoughts about each gender.
Founder of mytextalk.com, Christine Temple-Wolfe created the product to help both kids and parents understand texting language. "My son got his first cell phone in 5th grade and was eager to learn texting. He was actually being texted 40-50 times a day by one individual girl and he had little idea what she was saying because of her constant abbreviations," she said. Now in 7th grade, kids are telling me that there are no rights and wrongs with texting.
Unlike the Webster's dictionary, texting language is unique to each individual. So you can understand how complicated it can become when you have a circle of friends all using a different language, whether it be on a cell phone or an instant messaging tool on the computer," said Temple-Wolfe.
