Cell Phone

Click here to see all the people who wrote WORLD posts about their cell phone stories. This is going to be a huge feature once I figure out how to make it easier to get to.

My favorite post was wallpaperotaku's right here.

Big question: How has the site's speed been today for you?

Let's Start Testing!

I bought a new cell phone today. I would have gotten an iPhone but I'm on a family plan with Verizon and AT&T is horrible in New York City, but oh well. New phone works well.

In honor of our big Fan Words update, here's a challenge...

Everyone write a post tagged with the word: cellcell

And make the post about an interesting cell phone experience you had. The winner will get their story linked-to in my next post.

Here's one from me:

Today when I went to buy my new cell, I had to pretend to be my dad since he lives in another state and I'm on a family plan. Everything was working great until the person asked me for my email address.

I casually said "[email protected]"

She looked up at me..."Adam?"

Crap, now she knew I wasn't who I said I was...

Luckily I hustled and was able to save myself: "Yeah, Adam, A-T-O-M"

Saved.

New Celebrity Chat?

It's not 100% confirmed but we might have a new celebrity chat session at the beginning of March.

Let the speculation begin on who it is!
