Predicto's Top Celeb Texting Break Ups of All Time....

January 16, 2009 - PredictoMobile, the leading online entertainment mobile company, has taken it upon themselves to break down the break ups that have made headlines—and not necessarily because of the celebrities that are involved in these blossoming love stories, but more importantly because of how the relationship crashed and burned....short and sweet....and via text messaging.
read more...

Call it cold, heartless and cowardly...but some of Hollywood’s heart throbs have taken the easy way out when it comes to calling it quits. With Valentine’s Day around the corner, perhaps it is best to send out Predicto’s list of lamest break ups as a reminder that although texting can be fun and easy....tread lightly when it comes to breaking hearts this red, white and pink holiday.

Predicto’s Top 5 (lamest) Texting Break Ups

1) I want 2 Divorce U: Granted this was the second divorce for Britney, but there was no ‘Oops’ in this text. Her relationship had become toxic and she wanted out and made it known loud and clear.....via her cellular key pad. Divorcing someone via text messaging trumps any and all text relationship break ups.

2) Lame—either way you look at it: Burger breaks up with Carrie on Sex and the City via a post-it note. Now, granted we understand the difference between a text and post it—but the sheer shock value of either is a close tie, so we took the authority to loop it into one category...a really lame and cowardly way to call it quits with someone.

3) Let’s Just Be Friends: John Mayer tells Jennifer it’s time she goes back to what she does best....playing the role as a friend...via texting.

4) Not-So-Sly: Sylvester Stallone's 1995 "fax-breakup" with Angie Everhart. And again, we recognize the difference between a cellular phone and a piece of paper, but in 1995 a fax was your go-to, save face, easy-way-out communication tool....we are guessing Rocky would have opted for a text if he had had the option.

5) XOXO Gossip Girl: Chace Crawford kicks Carrie Underwood to the corner before he cheats...via texting.

BCS Tip: SMS Voters Project Gators To Win NCAA Championship

January 5, 2009 - Oklahoma Sooner quarterback Sam Bradford beat out Florida’s Tim Tebow to win College Football’s prestigious Heisman Trophy in mid-December. Yet mobile voters are predicting that when the two teams face off on January 8th at Dolphin Stadium in Miami to decide the National Championship, it will be the Florida Gators who bring home this season’s biggest prize.
read more...

In a current poll conducted by the premium mobile service Predicto, 64% of voters think #1 Florida will defeat #2 Oklahoma in the upcoming Bowl Championship Series title game.

Predicto is home to one of the fastest-growing mobile communities. Over one million members use the service, casting votes via text-message to predict the outcome of some of the biggest questions in the news, including everything from economic announcements to the latest Hollywood rumors. Throughout this past election year, the Predicto community saw repeated success in accurately forecasting the outcomes of Democratic and Republican primaries as well as the debates between candidates.

“Predicto is a fun, engaging mobile service,” says company co-founder and President Itai Kathein. “Our members enthusiastically respond to the variety of SMS surveys we offer, and sports fans can be especially passionate when it comes to big games like this one. Plus, the tremendous growth of the Predicto community which we’ve seen has made the impact of these poll results that much more significant.”

With the focus on NCAA football’s biggest game certain to swell over the upcoming weeks, everyone from wagering fans to Sooner and Gator alumni will be debating the expected outcome of the showdown between the two 12-1 teams. Predicto’s current Florida/Oklahoma survey will remain open until 9 a.m. gameday morning, so the Predicto Community’s own opinion – much like the Championship itself – is yet to be determined.

Recipients of the Gift Cards are able to select a charity from a list of over 100 renowned non-profit organizations, including March of Dimes, Toys for Tots, Mercy Corps, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and the Alzheimer’s Association, among others.

CharityChoice was born when Special Kids Fund board member Mark Finkel recognized the need for a service with which one can give a charitable gift that allows the recipient to choose which charity will receive the funds. Since its inception, the organization has become a pioneer in recipient-designated charity gifts. “Our CharityChoice Gift Cards provide a way for all of us to elevate how we do our gift-giving,” said Special Kids Fund President and CharityChoice co-founder, Daniel B. Goodman. To learn more and to see a complete list of charities, visit www.ccgiftcards.org.
