Description

Aimed at women who are techno-relating, Kristina Grish's The Joy of Text decodes e-mails, Blackberry messages and IMs to determine what they are really saying. (Hint: Timing and tone are just as important as the text.)

How long do you wait to respond to an e-mail message (up to three days is not insulting, she believes) and text messages (more than a few hours is probably a brushoff)? Misspellings can be cute (or can make you look like a moron - depending on your technomate). Too many exclamation points make you look like a spaz.

''Like it or not, you are what you type,'' Ms. Grish declares.

Oh Gemini, do I have the book for you! There are two things you love: 1.) Communicating using your Blackberry, text message, computer (rarely face to face ... you freak you) and 2.) Flirting. Now you can mix your two loves together with this handy dandy book; The Joy of Text: Mating, Dating, and Techno-Relating. You can thank me later.
