Swaggle
Swaggle is a simple, free, group text messaging (SMS) service for
cellphones.
Event organizers use Swaggle to announce group directions during events.
For example, Santa would send a message to swaggle anouncing the next
location where the group should go to get a drink. That message would
then be sent via text message to all of the subscribers. Replies are only
sent to the event organizers.
Another usage of Swaggle is for last-minute "flash-mob" style event
announcements. We also use it for the random reminders about upcoming
events.
Basic Commands
<name>: <message>: Sends a
message to another Swaggle user (e.g., "JohnS: I like
you!").
.QUIT <group>: Removes you from a
group.
.QUIT Removes you from the
Swaggle service entirely.
.HUSH: Mutes Swaggle until 8 am the next
morning (Pacific Time)Messages sent to your groups during this time will
not be delivered to you at all.
You can also specify a particular day to hush until by sending .HUSH
September 1 or .HUSH 9/1/09.
To start receiving messages again send .HUSH
off.
