Some of the more interesting early results on my thesis research on text messaging between genders...

- 68.3% of participants reported primarily using text messaging for task-related communication with people of the same gender.
- 30.8% of participants said that they primarily used text messaging for relationship maintenance purposes with people of the same gender
- Males appeared to use text messaging primarily for “Task-related” purposes rather than “Relationship-maintenance” purposes more frequently than females
- 66.7% of participants reported that they generally used text messaging for relationship maintenance purposes when communicating with people of the opposite gender
- 33.3% of participants reported that they generally used text messaging for task-related purposes when communicating with people of the opposite gender
- 64.2% of participants said that they either “Strongly agree” or “Agree” that text messaging is an effective way to maintain their relationships
- 74.2% of participants said that they either “Strongly agree” or “Agree” that text messaging is an effective way for them to “get tasks done.”
- 84.2% of total respondents said that they had no preference as to which gender they preferred to exchange text messages with

Kind of boring, but kind of cool.

On a side note, gotta love the fact that I get ads for lubricated condoms now at the top of my page. My roommate's friend Troy is taking over as the manager of Hurry Curry in Pasadena. Hopefully, we'll make our way down next weekend and I'll have some pics and a restaurant review!
