SMS tools

We will be using some cool new apps for real-time SMS communications during the Aug 26 event.

The first is Mozes. Send a text message with the word "followme" to 66937 using your mobile phone. You will get a reply asking if you'd like to subscribe. Reply with Y. On the day of the event, this will allow organizers to send updates as the event progresses throughout the day.

Alternately, you can sign up and join Twitter.com, which is akin to a text message chat group. Once you join, add user mvs as your friend and you'll be set.

Both services will be used on the 26th. Note that your carrier may charge a small fee for each text message sent and received, so keep that in mind if you decide to join. You'll also be able to follow along via this web page.
