Great Kidmin tool: Group Me

Group me seems like it’s almost made for kidmin. It’s an amazing tool that is web based but has a fully functioning iPhone and Adroid app. Basicly you create a group of users who all have cell phones a unique number is assigned to that group and every time you text that number it is broadcast out to the group. What makes it better than a mass text sender is because you are sending the text to a unique number every member of the group who texts that number sends a message to everyone and creates an ongoing text conversation.

“A huge part of GroupMe’s success depends on the fact that it doesn’t require an app at all, or even a phone capable of running apps. All you need is a phone capable of sending text messages.

You also have the ability to do a conference call by one person initiation the call it rings everyone else in the group. It’s a very slick system that has worked well for me everytime I have used it.
