Text Room: A New World
I was texting about eight different people today around ten a.m. in order to get some ideas on what we should do for this up and coming weekend. I was repeatedly recieving text upon text of ideas, and other people wanted to know what everyone else was saying... Suddenly it dawned on me that the iphone needs a new app in their arsenal. They need a app that shows up like a chatroom on your phone but its all through texting.when you open up a text message it shows what everyone has been saying, and you can view it just like a chat room. Basically cutting down the amount of texts that you have to send to people, and then everyone has to go to one spot in ored to figure out the information. I searched the product and have found nothing like it. Such a small change in the format of texting could make a very big inconvenience into a serious luxury for everyone. Just make sure you are sending in something you dont mind everyone taking a look at.

ReplyDeleteGreat idea!
So class - what do you think - would people be interested in this app? Are any of you aware of an app that CJ might have missed in his search that does something like he is suggesting?
I have a newish Sidekick 4g and it came with an App called grouptext. The idea sounds great but only works with T-mobile customers. I'm sure Apple can find a way to make an Ichat App where you can invite circles of friends to a group chat
ReplyDeleteAlso the google+ app has an option called huddle. In huddle you can text any of the groups that you have set up on google+. Google+ has also now received the label of beta so it is open for anyone to join that wants to.
ReplyDeleteI've actually had a chance to experiment with this idea. Blackberry has Blackberry Messaging that enables single line chats and group chats. It's a great app and can be very useful when trying to make group decision in separate places.
