My wife was working in the mall on the infamous black friday, swamped with customers when I needed to contact her. How was I going to do this? Calling her would not only be disrupting but would distract her from her customers. Texting is just tacky at work…. ah I’ll use Twitter!
After a recent discovery of a great iPhone and Mac desktop app called Echofon I knew that the iphone app would push a notification to my wife’s iPhone and she’d be notified just like sending a text message – without the terrible text messaging fees, and she could just check it when she was free.
Some of the coolest features include:
- iPhone and Desktop App Sync
- iPhone push notifications
Now that we’ve started using Twitter as our primary text messaging tool I think I’ll downgrade the texting plan that we are currently on!
What do you think about using Twitter vs. using Texting? Is there a future for this do you think?
