Saying Hello to HelloTxt
by Darla Mack
One of my mobitopia buddies, Sir Erik Thauvin (lol that’s not really his name but I like calling him that) introduced me to Hellotxt awhile back and my initial thought was this is the place to be for updating all of your social media networks simultaneously… especially via mobile.
You know who you are… you Twitter, Jaiku, Pownce, Bebo, Facebook and so on people that bounce from spot to spot in order to make sure all of your locations are updated.
That’s where HelloTxt comes in.
HelloTxt is an aggregate of microblogging services through which the user can insert their messages on all main microblogging services in a simply and simultaneous way.
Now although it is web-based, it still offers the solution of multi-service update in a convenient way. Updates can be sent via email gateway, sms gateway or through the users dashboard.
There is a mobile web version of hellotxt (m.hellotxt.com) that does the same thing, however I think it would be much better to have a real mobile client than just having to use the mobile browser all the time. But its still a good solution for quick multi-service updates.
