Is there an etiquette reference for new tech and communication?

From the article where the girl got a text message firing her, I have a friend (for 10 years) who has this annoying habit of sending a mass text message to everyone’s phone during special occasions. Personally, it’s mad cheesy to me to get a text on my phone at a party or hanging out with family that says "Merry Xmas – from T." or the ever timely "T wishes you a Happy New Year". And then to have a few others at the same place get the same msg.

At the least, send an e-card with a personal message or something, or, as a novel idea…CALL.

I wanted to reference my friend with something that outlines just how lame a mass phone text is, but couldn’t find anything that updates some of the common sense and basic courtesy with today’s tech. (Like turn off your ringers and don’t talk during the movie in the theater – YOU RUDE IDIOT!)
