BizJam SMS – sign up for instant updates, last-minute changes, and conference conversation
Jordan Schwartz, working with Waggle Labs, has hooked us up with an SMS network of our very own for the conference. Here’s the scoop, from Jordan:
BizJam SMS
We’ve set up a special BizJam “backchannel” that will let you send messages to other BizJam attendees. Use it to get announcements for schedule changes, broadcast questions and comments or coordinate your day and evening activities with other BizJam attendees.Here’s how it works:
Send a text message that reads “.join BizJam” to (206) 766-0955
Set your name by sending “.name yourname” (it has to be unique, so choose something like DanMcComb, instead of just Dan)That’s it, your ready to go! To broadcast to everyone who’s signed up, just send your SMS to (206) 766-0955, we’ll take care of the rest. To send a message directly to one person, send “d John your message”, where “John” is name your recipient is using on the service.
If the chatter gets too much for your text messaging plan, just send “.quit” to the same number to turn it off. You can also invite people by sending “.invite <their phone number>”.
Enjoy!
