Other Follow-up

There was a question about using texting to advertise a volunteer event to a volunteer list.

I think your best bet might be Broadtexter. It’s free, you can manage it all from the Web, and there are no size limits to the number of people on your list. The hardest part might be opting people into the list. That can be done a couple of different ways. You can get more details on their website http://www.broadtexter.com

Here are some sites that participants mentioned in the chat.

• The site kickstarter.com was mentioned as a fundraising model.
• Someone mentioned that some of the mapping examples resembled yelp.com.
• The volunteer management site sweatmonkey.org was recommended.

Also, if you have recommendations for smartphone apps that should be developed to promote social good leave your ideas in the comments below.
