@Channel - Free SMS Channel Service

As soon as TxtWeb announced that they will support PUSH, I got this idea. But I thought that this time I should do it, the way it should be done. So here it is:

http://brotherboard.com/channel/

What is it?
It is like mailing lists. You create a channel, people subscribe to it. You send updates/notifications/reminders and all the subscribers, they get them as SMS for free. It's unidirectional communication at the moment, but give me a free, calm weekend I will make it a conversation tool.

How do you use it?

1. You create a channel by registering on the page.
2. You then publicize the channel and ask people to send
   @channel subscribe YourChannelName to +91 92433 42000
3. You send a message to all the subscribers from the site (or automate it using the API provided already).

Where can you use it?

1. Department Placements: DPNs can create channels where junta can receive reminders about the PPTs, talks and workshops
2. Clubs: Tell people to come to the meeting, participate in an event or send them results of the last.
3. Hostels: Wing channels, create one and notify when there is a new chick in the wing. Who would not want to increase the volume of music when there are 'guests' around! ;)
4. Blog/Website Owners: Create a channel for your readers, notify them about the updates of your blog.
5. Daily Services: Create services like Daily News, Daily Jokes, Daily questions, Daily Vocab Building exercises and more! All you need to do is create a CRON job and use the developer API.
6. And the list can go on and on and on!

What's coming?

• Search option for public channels
• 2-way communication
• Better statistics for the channel owners!
• Or anything else you want, just leave a comment!
