Hi everyone,

Here is a quick product update for you for this valentine’s weekend.

Here at Hellotxt we’ve decided to add a bit more fun to social networking so we’ve updated our Doodle feature to include various valentines stamps.

You can use them to doodle your Facebook friend’s profile photos (as modelled on the right!), this can be done in 3 easy steps:

• Pick a Facebook friend to doodle.
• Customise their photo using the various stamps.
• Post it to their wall so that they can see your handy work.

Until next time, happy doodling.

Best wishes,

Jenny
The Hellotxt Team
