Text Messages Expand Knowledge and Vocabulary
Added: (Fri Mar 31 2006)
--- BEGINS ---
Launch of GotItSussed.com - a new text message service to improve vocabulary or knowledge.
Do you struggle sometimes to find the right word to describe how you feel, to convey an opinion, or to argue a case? Do you ever feel frustrated that you lack the depth or breadth of general knowledge that your friends or colleagues seem to have? Or perhaps you just want to learn new things.
The answer could be a new range of text message services from GotItSussed.com. They are aimed at people who want to expand their vocabulary or knowledge, but do not have the time or motivation for traditional ways of learning.
Users of the vocabulary service receive a daily text message with a challenging word, its definition and a real-life example of its use. Users of the knowledge service get a fact each day and can choose an area of interest such as science, environment, history or arts. There is also a website accessible by mobile phone to quickly find out more about the day's text message.
GotItSussed.com has been set up by Marcus Young and Darren Wade, who were both struck by the lack of intelligent content for mobile phones. "We wanted to get away from celebrity gossip and horoscopes, and offer a quality service that will actually enhance people's lives," Marcus said.
