Text Alert!



So i chose text alerts provided by the bbc as one of my mediums to research the beijing olympics.
The reason for choosing the text alert service is that its new and inventive way of receiving information, rather than newspaper, tv, radio etc. Its new for the bbc as-well, they also provide a moving image service but unfortunately im not lucky enough to be able to afford a flashy phone so that service doesn't apply to me. However it will be interesting to see what information they can send in just one text, what will the hierarchy be, what tone will they use, will they use text language and how useful the information will be? all very interesting stuff! Above is a picture of my conformation via text, i will be sure to let you know about any other texts i receive from the bbc.
