Social Networking
I’m in the process of researching any and all unique or alternative methods for using text messages (SMS) as a local marketing tool.
If any of my friends or readers have some input, please post a comment pointing me in the right direction. Fell free to leave a link in the body of your message to where I can get more information on any cool text programs you have come accross.
Thanks much!

Text message marketing is a great idea. I don’t have any direct links to share but would also love to see what others will post.

I was hoping someone would come up with some tips, as I’d like to know myself.
Many active twitter users get their twitter messages via a text message on their cell phones, so Twitter can be of some help. But I suspect that is not the answer you are looking for.

I do not have any cool programs to share, but I have been involved in running SMS competitions for corporates. As a means of entering competitions SMS is absolutely unsurpassed, especially when focusing on off-line folks.

The web based solutions seem to be have strengths in simplifying sending messages to a list of recipients. What they don’t seem to offer, and what often can quite difficult, is the ability to quickly target appropriate recipients on criteria such as region, age, gender and so forth.
