Texting Speak May 29, 2009

LG launches website to help parents understand what their kids are saying when they are texting their friends. Their website called DTXTR.com, pronounced Dee-Text-Er. Taking a page from how Phrasebase works, if dxtr doesn’t understand a given input, it asks for you to do the translation for them, so that translation can be added to their database.

Problem is it seems, the teens aren’t going to be eager to help ma and dad with their lingo, so they are unlikely to use the site and enter in new terminology. So, how will they continue to maintain an accurate and up to date database? Will be interesting to keep an eye on this application.
