TigerText is the new iPhone application that X Sigma Partners, is launching which “allows people to erase text messages after they’ve been sent out.” When the recipient gets the text, they are asked to download the TigerText application in order to the read the message. So what’s X factor of this app? The text isn’t sent directly to the person’s iPhone, instead it’s hosted on the company’s servers can be automatically erased whenever the sender wants.

The app gives you three ways to delete the messages: They can be deleted on command, set to automatically disappear after a certain amount of time, or immediately after reading. They cannot be saved, copied, or forwarded.

Jeffrey Evans, founder of the company said:

“Tigers are notoriously difficult animals to track. TigerTexts are difficult to track as well. Ninety-nine percent of what people want to keep private has nothing to do with cheating on a spouse or doing anything illegal. How many times have you sent someone a text message and told them after they read it to delete it? Text messages are conversations with another person; the problem is they live forever. I thought it would be great if messages would self-destruct in 60 seconds…When the message is gone from us, it’s gone.”

Hilarious!
