Franklin Page from Seattle, Washington is the world's fastest texter.

The 23-year-old intern won the Guinness World Record for fastest texting earlier this year. To win the award he took 35.54 seconds to type a 160-character phrase that Guinness uses to determine the winner of this award.

The phrase? "The razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human".

Page works for Swype, a Seattle startup that's developing new text input technology for touch-screen phones. He credits that new technology for his win. He beat Ben Cook's record of 40.91 seconds.
