There's a feature from AP (Feb 13, 2003) entitled "Linguists Are Mixed About Text Messages", by Melissa Trujillo. It begins: MILWAUKEE (AP) - The text messages on Margarete Stettner's cell phone are filled with shortcuts - "G2G" for "got to go" and "LOL" instead of "laugh out loud." The 13-year-old sometimes even slips into text-messaging lingo in her homework. The URL is: http://apnews.excite.com/article/20030213/D7P5M1D00.html but it may expire soon, in which case the story may be locatable with a key word search over Google.
