TEXT Up your Statement - WIN an iPad

Grab your iPhone, your iPod, or iPad and join the latest statement making meme on the internet.  It's like a Manual Twitter.  A message that you enter into your TEXT UP ap and it simply displays.  If you want to share it with friends and people around you, simply hold it up for them to see!

Wanna win a 16gb iPad?  
Check out the GIVEAWAY. 

Download your FREE version of TEXT UP from the iTunes ap Store and make your statement, photograph it and upload to us to enter.  All TEXT Up photos will get you ONE entry (unless you violate our rules of photographic conduct) and you could win a 16gb iPad just for sharing your TEXT Up message.  (contest ends September 2nd, 2010 at 5:04pm MST) for a good reason we aren't sharing, yet.
If you have an iSomething. 
Do it NOW.  If you don't have one, NO WORRIES, you can still enter.  Just write your TEXTstatement on a 3x5 card and photograph it (as if it were your ipod) and upload. Simple as that.

OR even cooler, if you see someone with an iPod (and you know them well enough, or are brave enough) go ask to borrow it (make sure they don't mind you downloading a FREE ap for them . . why would they . . they could enter too) and make your statement, take a photo and move on.
  1. Entering is a great way to get a BACK LINK (and grow your web traffic) because all valid entries will be shared on the blog, with a link to their original maker.
  2. Making a good statement is a great way to EARN iTunes CREDIT. The TextUp Statements we choose to use in our TEXT Up Ads will get $5 iTunes giftcard/credits.
Do it today.  Do it often.  
Make a Statement and Text UP.  

*BONUS iPod giveaway - If you've read this far, you make us very happy.  So if you leave a comment on This Blog Entry about how you would use TEXT UP (doesn't have to be original ;) you will be entered into a SEPARATE GIVEAWAY for an 8gb iPod touch (the little older brother of iPad)  REALLY another separate giveaway just for commenting here ! (ends 8/31/2010)

  1. How would I use TEXT Up (if I had an iSomething)? Okay. Here it is: My husband HATES when I keep whispering my two cents to him regarding a conversation he's having on the phone with someone else. He feels the other person might hear and that's a problem because... I'm not sure why. I feel, however, that I have VALUABLE information to impart and do not wish to deprive him of my wisdom. Soooo, I would TEXT Up my important contribution to the conversation. This way there is NO WAY the other party can "overhear" my comment. Brilliant.

  2. I would use TEXT Up probably for making fun of my friends behind their back haha. Or I could use it as a sign if I just need to say something to someone from faraway.

  3. I would use TEXT up to say things to my husband so that my kids didn't hear. :) My oldest can spell now, so that doesn't work!

  4. I will use text up to tell my sisters gossipy things at family events....lol

    ReplyDelete
  5. I would use text up to play with my children.
    I would write silly things to them in public.
    Maybe I LOVE MY CHILDREN real big and place it on the shopping cart. Just to embarrass them.

    I might use it to send notes to my hubby while he is on the phone, like Ayelet said....I have that same problem.....lol.

    I might hold it up when I need to give my hubby a message while he is preaching so he will not stop what he is saying and say "What are you trying to tell me" Sometimes us preachers wives have to inform our hubbies of situations and try to be discreet about it.
    This would help me.
    Ok anyway, I think one of these would be awesome!

  9. Well, Im going to keep it short and simple. iPad is revolutionary compared to the iTouch, So how would i use TextUp? i would use the tripled screen size to show people i want a sandwich.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I would buy a whole bunch of iPad's and iPod Touch's (Heck of a lot of $$$!) and download this app on all of them and write different messages on them such as: Milez' Room, Rock n' Roll, The Beatles, Hendrix, Coca Cola. You know all the stuff i like :) Then i would all put them in glass cases and hand them up on shelves in my room. And at night time, i would turn the brightness down and make the text a different color so it looks all ambient! In your next update make an option where you can change the color of the Text! and then it can change the color by dissolving into the next color of your choice! Genius! :D

    Thanks :-) -Miles M.

  19. text up. Wining isn't everything but it is something everyone wish would happen to them. What is the odd. When you least expect a surprise come around once in a blue moon. Wining is just like reaching for the stars. You can only dream of it. Prove me wrong make the impossible a reality. We all want to believe in something.

    Text it up allow the dreamer to dream, the skeptical to wish and the unbeliever to believe. "all things are possible"

  36. Adam - that's cool. About 3 days ago I watched one of those "free hugs" videos on YouTube, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. Probably because the music got stuck in my head. But I thought it was cool. I did NOT think about using Text Up however . . Surprised I didn't! But you did first. I might try it!

    ReplyDelete
  37. @annholly1 - "your add here for food" That is cracking me up. Thank you ;)

  41. My brother is a very sharp twelve year old. He's witty, funny, caring, and... mute. Although he can read and write, he can't communicate with my parents, who just do not find sign language that accessible. My brother could use TEXTup to talk to parents that have never been able to know the true desires of their younger son.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I would TEXTup by talking to my parents who are in Spain

    ReplyDelete

  45. I would use Textup to talk to people who don't know sign language. I've been deaf since birth and although most of my friends and family learned sign language for my benefit it's still very hard to communicate to new people who don't know it. People usually don't respond well to a teenage girl holding out a pen and pad of paper to them to start up a conversation. Textup would just help me in everyday life, making new friends and communicating to people I need to "talk" to everyday.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I have the app TextUp and I use to right now to text people since I lost my job and don't have a phone I'm able to use my TextUp app to keep in touch with my family and friends.

    ReplyDelete
  47. This is a great way to encourage people to communicate with others. Through life we just touch or see people in our daily life, but with blogging and all the social network sites. we expand our ideas, feeling and opinions to others that we would normally wouldn't have.
    Great work, keep it up.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I am so excitedly awaiting this giveaway Ms. Joy. Cannot wait to see who is gonna win!
    Have a good one.
    I make a list of things to be done in the house and my children are always threatening to get rid of my dry erase board but I bet if I had an Ipod touch they would not threaten to get rid of it when I make my little list and show it to them.
    CLEAN YOUR ROOMS!
    CLEAN THE BATHROOM!
    DO YOUR LAUNDRY!
    That would be awesome!

After I've written the song using text up, all the leaders of the world will hear it and stop waging wars with one another, and then come to an agreement that nuclear weapons be banned from earth. The the song will then be broadcast via satellite into space and an alien life form will hear it and be so intrigued by the shear beauty of the song, it will come to earth. When it arrives it will playback my beautiful song created with text up so loud everyone on planet earth will be able to hear it, bringing joy to all of humanity for one single moment. Then the alien will kill everyone on the planet and make me his servant, to play that one song I wrote on text up, whenever he commanded.
