LG Electronics is set to name the "U.S. Texting Champion" today in its third annual contest, which includes a $50,000 prize. Twenty-two finalists -- known as Text Titans, who competed online, through
Facebook challenges and competitions on MTV -- are competing in a two-day event, which will include challenges testing their speed, dexterity, nerves and text knowledge.
"The LG National
Texting Championship is bigger and better than ever," said Ehtisham Rabbani, vice president of product strategy & marketing for LG Mobile Phones, in a statement. "Every year, we challenge ourselves to
make this an even more exciting event, and for the third annual Championship we chose to increase the difficulty, the duration, and the drama."--Aaron Baar
