TextMe Offers Safe Two-Way SMS For Webmasters
If you’re a webmaster, blogger, or otherwise do alot on the Internet, chances are, you also live *away* from the Internet at times. If you’ve ever wanted a safe way to allow readers and forum users to contact you without posting your mobile number on your site, CardBoardFish has you covered. They’ve introduced a tool called ‘TextMe’ and it allows safe, easy, two-way communication between you and your fans, while maintaining your privacy.
CardBoardFish has several other SMS-based tools such as SMSBlog, SMSPoll, and SMSComments which allow webmasters and bloggers to easily interact with their sites via SMS. All communication is sent through a long-number, ensuring users that there won’t be any extra fees, and numbers are not stored for use in marketing or other unwanted purposes. Best of all, the whole thing is free, so you’ve got no excuse to give it a go if you want to give readers that extra bit of personalization on your site.
Really, not all that difficult to do. Text in to a short code or long code, strip out the number, attach a unique ID number to the conversation, and you are off…
Quite simple, actualy, to do.
