FASTEST TEXTER WON $50,000

Austin Wierschke - Fastest Texter in the US

These days, one shouldn't take anything he does for granted o...whether it's eating, cooking...or even sleeping. The real thing is to be the best at whatever you do.

A 17-year-old boy who says he has “abnormally fast thumbs” has been named the fastest texter in America for the second year in a row.

“It feels incredible,” said Austin Wierschke after winning the sixth annual U.S. LG National Texting Competition in Times Square on Wednesday. He gets $50,000 in prize money, which he says he’ll save and use to pay for college, along with the $50,000 he won last year.

Eleven contestants from around the U.S. competed, all using the same type of cellphone, an LG Optimus Zip phone with QWERTY keyboard. Cellphone-maker LG Electronics sponsored the contest. – ©AP

The boy said he sends almost 500 text to his friends daily! but that's no big deal here now, Naija babes and bobos sends over a thousand bbm daily. So, LG bring it on.
