"i can't help it i'm popular" horseshit. no way in hell any high school kid could have pull this off. from what i've read via the link, and a lil google search, she's a high school student, about to graduate, holding down a 40 hr a week job...and getting decent grades. Find me ONE job that any high school kid (other than being paid to sleep working for their parents) could work where they'd be allowed to constantly be on their phone. i say the girl has to sleep @ least 6 hours a nite...so sending an avg of 555 per hour while she's in HIGH SCHOOL (show me a teacher that would allow that, and i'll show you a teacher that would get fired) or while working is BS. this girl was probably sending messages to herself over and over again, cuz yes...u can sms yourself. little cheat]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[SimbaDogg]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 7th 2009 11:50PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on California girl claims to have burned through over 300,000 texts in a single month]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/07/california-girl-claims-to-have-burned-through-over-300-000-texts/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/07/california-girl-claims-to-have-burned-through-over-300-000-texts/</guid><description><![CDATA[we have to figure this is incoming and outgoing messages.

These insane texting stories are almost as tired as readers (and writers evidently) of a *tech* blog who don't realize that sending one text to twenty people is regarded as twenty texts sent by your provider. Add to that messages sent over IM protocols, and it's more believable. i'm sure she sent a ton of pointless text blasts to get up to that number. Aside for the purposes of hyperbole, trying to figure out how she made those texts within a month is pointless.<br><br>Also, the girl pictured in the CNET article is not Crystal Wiski.

I would be willing to bet that she just told everyone in her whole school to text the crap out of her phone. There's no way that many texts can be fit around school, work, taking a shower, and walking. There's no way to read and reply to that many texts. I think anyone who legitimately does over 5,000 is seriously cutting into their life with texting. A guy in my high school literally texted all throughout class, went home and texted tons at home got about 10k texts and hardly did anything else.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Andrew]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 7th 2009 8:52PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on California girl claims to have burned through over 300,000 texts in a single month]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/07/california-girl-claims-to-have-burned-through-over-300-000-texts/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/07/california-girl-claims-to-have-burned-through-over-300-000-texts/</guid><description><![CDATA[Ah, idiotic kids these days.
