All glory honor and praise to you, O merciful God!
Some logistics:
Does everyone have a web-enabled phone? If so, this might be the only source we ever need, because you can set your profile to send you an email any time someone posts. Check your email, then respond by email or text, and make it happen.
I don't think everyone will have a phone that can go on the internet though, so I set up an account on Swaggle. The link is http://www.swaggle.mobi/. The service says: "Send one text message to Swaggle, and we'll send it to everyone in your group. When someone responds, that goes to everyone in the group, as well." Sounds good to me.
You'll have to go there to set up an account. Put your phone number in and they'll text you a password. Sign in using your number and password and then join the group. Create a name (I just used my last name) and fill in the rest of the information. On the next screen, click on "join" under groups. The group is called "quittalking." It will send you a text once you become a part of the group. Then you're in! All you have to do is text a message to (206) 694-9197 (the number you received the password and group confirmation from) and it will send that message to the entire group!
Does this sound too complicated? I don't think it should be. Give your feedback here. Are you guys ok with me posting your name/phone number/email address here?
Let's talk about it. But not for too long.
