Grab your smartphone and warm up those fingertips because this is your chance to share – or even better, have spoken aloud by a local notable – pretty much any random, opinionated or outlandish thought you can imagine (in fewer than 140 characters, of course).Aimee Shea, Orlando Weekly (Selections)

I found myself laughing louder than ever at this performance. The uninhibited mind is a strange and quirky beast.... txt was a Mad Lib with an emphasis on Mad.Thomas Thorspecken, Analog Artist Digital World

txt held up a mirror, and in it we see the promise of instant total communications, and how it will kill us all, unexpectedly.Al Pergande, Ink 19 (Archikulture Digest)
even with the glitches #txt was awesome. best part about #barcamporlando for me.@zachberry
Feldman plays a character who reads other people's text messages — while people in the audience tweet him. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, this... is not for you.Elizabeth Maupin, Orlando Sentinel (Orlando Theater Blog)
