A Song Composed Through Texting! - Mar
05 2004
The Manila Bulleting Online reports that a
song has been composed through texting and itís
by Vina Morales and Piolo Pascual no less.
"Piolo is a guest artist in Vinaís latest
album and when the singer-actress found this
out, they thought of a concept. But because of
their busy and demanding schedule, they couldnít
find time to sit down together and write the
song. But they finally got to do it - through
texting.
ìPiolo wrote the second and fourth verses and
I did the first and the third,î Vina said during
the launch the other day of the album entitled
ìMamahalin Ka Niyaî.
The only disappointing part of this story is
that the record company didn't think of making
the song into a ringtone. It would have been
appropriate.
Cellphone Text Poetry Writing Contest
- Feb 10 2004
The National Commission for Culture and the
Arts in cooperation with the Filipinas Institute
of Translation and the UP Institute of Creative
Writing, are launching DIONATEXT, an SMS poetry
writing contest.
"The contest aims to popularize and
revitalize the tradition of one of the oldest
forms of poetry by using modern technology. The
diona is a short poem composed of three
versified rhyming lines. DIONATEXT entries must
be written in Filipino and must express love
within the family.
Every week for the month of February, judges
will pick 2 winners and the winning entries will
be compiled in a book which will be released at
the award ceremonies".
City Poems - Nov 2 2003
City Poems is a community project, made up
of a network of Poem Points around Leeds, each
offering up to ten free text message poems
written by people who live and work in the city.
"To read a poem users need only text the
unique key number displayed on each PoemPoint
sign to the CityPoems number 07919 315556 or try
the virtual tour by texting the key numbers from
the map. To read another poem just send the key
number again.
CityPoems invites mobile users to submit
their own poems at any time by sending them as
text messages to 07919 315556. Each poem must
fit within a single text message (maximum 160
characters). A selection of these poems will be
used to regularly update the PoemPoints around
the city".
And from April 2004 until September 2004, "Stadschromosomen
- beeld van een stad" (city chromosomes - image
of a city) will deploy 26 textpoints built into
the city of Antwerp and the 9 districts
surrounding Antwerp.
People can also request sms messages from
Leeds (CityPoems) on twinned locations
(Antwerp-Leeds). After 6 months, a selection of
the best text messages will be published in a
book
