Incriminating text messages are all the rage right now.
Whenever someone wants to back up an accusation, he pulls out a cell phone and shows the text messages to prove it. Text messages backfired against Tiger Woods, and they can backfire for businesses as well.
The new iPhone app TigerText (http://www.tigertext.com/) takes the worry out of ill-advised text messaging by offering a way to "cover your tracks."
Jeffrey Evans, the creator of TigerText, says the app name has nothing to do with that infamous golfer who could have made good use of the program if it had existed during his extracurricular activities. Still, that catchy name has attracted a lot of attention. "It is a frustration that people are pigeonholing it as a cheater's app," says Evans. "But the media excitement that has circulated around this salacious story is allowing me to have conversations about the importance of privacy needs worldwide."
