Twitter and radios
June 3, 2008 – 5:14 pmI am on the lookout for clever ideas on mixing mobile, sms and radio.
The grandiose bbc has many sms texting schemes but they are all very standard. You text something and you get some info back.
They also have up to 4 different mobile versions of their web sites.
You can find some radios on twitter however most are not tweeting their life away anymore.
I need some new idea on how to mix sms, radio and mobile.
The problem being that in France, the sms business is totally controlled by the three mobile operators. If you want to set up a process where people text something for you to act upon, you have to pay large amount of money to Orange, Bouygues or SFR. More precisely you have to get your service agreed by the official sms association and use the service of accredited companies.
There is no way you can set a simple text - action - database - text back process cheaply.
There has to be a way around using twitter or jaiku or mozes, ….
If you have any idea please drop me a line
