ProTexting.com Wants to Know: Is Text Messaging Funny?

NEW YORK, Sept. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Mobile Marketing company ProTexting paired with America's most loved Comedian Wali Collins to make a series of four comedy videos showing just how funny text messaging can be.

This is the first time ever that text messaging was incorporated into a Standup Comedy routine.  It's also the first time a mobile marketing company has worked with a professional Comedian to tell their story and deliver their message about the power of text messaging.  Another first--this is the first time a Comedian created a hilarious improv routine using texting and technology before a live audience.

Today the first video "Goat" will post on the ProTexting.com Facebook page. Every Thursday for four weeks a new video will post. During the week of Oct 15-18 viewers on Facebook can vote for the best video.  The winning video will be announced Thursday, Oct 18.
