SMS

Mass SMS friends with ease

In Cell Phone, SMS on 15 October 2005 with no comments

I just mass-contacted over 25 Verizon Wireless friends, plus a handful or so non-VZW friends easily with vtext.com, Teleflip, and Gmail. What for? A party. I need RSVPs from them, and I’m simply getting “yes” or “no” text messages from them. How wicked is that?

Remember The Milk

In Asides, GTD, SMS on 12 October 2005 with 1 comment

I was thinking of using some kind of online system for a another quick and dirty tickler system (separate from my physical ticker file by my desk) for quick reminders. Whoa, Remember The Milk? This is a new service to manage your to-do lists online. I’m zoned in it lets you send reminders via SMS - for free! Yes! (Golf clap: Lifehack.org)

SMS to email gateways

In Asides, Email, SMS on 4 July 2005 with no comments

Service Providers: “A list of most of the common SMS to email gateways. Great for building a tool that emails people on their cell.” Or you can better contact people without having to visit each service website. Most of my friends have Verizon Wireless, but a handful uses some others. Annoying, but hopefully not for too much longer. (Golf clap: Jon Gales)
