Could you translate Shakespeare to SMS?

this is gr8 idea :)
u have 2 check out link re: SMS novel

okay, some may think that this is taking the idea of texting just a little too far but I bet it would be an interesting read. I wonder if it being sponsored or published with the help of a cell phone carrier. There could be some blatant product placement regarding which Mobile carrier or phone the authour uses.

They could even make a Coles {or Fido, Telus, Rogers} Notes just to explain the infinite number of possible acronyms and SMS slang.

  • I think the SMS Shakespeare thing has been tried a couple of times (with mixed results, as you might well imagine).

    In similar vein, though, there are a couple of absolutely terrific webby renditions of the Bard out there, in particular:

    - Brian Millar's hilarious PowerPoint Hamlet, complete with SWOT analysis (that link opens the .PPS file directly)

    - Tales for the L33t's outstanding stick-figure Romeo & Juliet rendered in hacker speak. Had me positively snorting with laughter the first time I watched it (I'm such a geek).

    omg that was funny...spelling mistakes and all. But I tell you, as familiar as I am with those acronyms I still needed a dictionary on some of them!
