Americans now sending over 4 Billion Texts Daily

Believe it or not, that isn’t a type-o in our title. According to a recent report created by the CTIA, 740 Billion text messages were sent in the first half of 2009. This works out to over 4 billion text messages being sent each day! You can argue that people should stop texting and pick up a phone instead but this can be just as time consuming, if not worse. Also, if you’re anything like us and have friends all over the globe then it can get quite expensive. With these exorbitant numbers you have to question how this has become the preferred method of communication. It’s obviously not to due to saving time – 4 Billion texts daily comes with the hefty price tag of your valuable time each day. So what do we do? If you think we’re going to suggest using meebee…then you’re right. But come on, instead of wasting countless hours each week trying to meet with friends, sending and responding to texts that rarely result in getting a definite answer; you could be sending out 3 options at a time to multiple friends at once. It takes less than a minute and your job is done! So before that number climbs to 5 billion texts a day, think about how you could be saving time and give meebee a shot!

Does Facebook Save Time or Waste it?

Here at meebee, we’re always thinking of new ways to manage your time effectively and make life easier, which recently sparked the debate at the hive – Does Facebook save time or waste it?

According to Facebook.com, there are currently more than 350 million people that actively use the site, 35 million users update their Facebook status daily and the average member spends at least 55 minutes a day on the site writing posts, checking e-mails, poking, etc.! The site has definitely helped connect people in more ways than one; however, with the time it takes to write an e-mail, create an event/meeting and write on your buddies wall, you would think that there’s a more efficient way of staying connected and saving time.

Let me ask you this: Do you find yourself thinking about Facebook while at work, school, sporting events, on a date etc..? If you write a post on someone’s wall... do you over analyze it and then think about the different reasons why they haven’t responded? Are you constantly trying to think of something clever and witty to say on your status during your free time?! Do your greatest fears include being de-friended, or god forbid, not having anyone write happy birthday on your wall?! Don’t worry you’re not alone.
