Never mind the worthlessness of being able to text so fast.... Am impressed by the prize money (thoughts on what I could do with that kind of money).
What does an event like this aim to achieve - marketing and brand awareness of course. This is the future so I would not be surprised to see it as an Olympic event :erm:
