A new app is on its way that will automatically and permanently delete your text messages from the sender's phone, the receiver's phone and the server, making it impossible to retrieve.
What would one call this novel feature? Why not TigerTexts.
That's right. Developers at X Sigma Partners insist that their latest creation was named long before Tiger Woods' text message booty calls unraveled his marriage and career. Really? Please go on.
Co-founder Jeffrey Evans points to such inspiration for the name as the app was launched in the Lunar Year of the Tiger. He goes on to say, "Tigers are notoriously difficult animals to track; TigerTexts are difficult to track as well. So if you send a private text message it should stay private."
Well, we're convinced. Oh, what's that? You have more, Mr. Evans.
Furthermore, a series of tiger paw prints are left in place of the deleted message in a conversation thread.
See, albeit a bit suspicious on the user end of things - those paws could give pause - there's no way that piece of code could have been created between the Woods' scandal and the TigerText release.
Sounds more to us like X Sigma is just doing a smart job covering their tracks on a brilliant piece of naming.
