Hi Campers - I thought I'd let you know that my company, Padpaw,  is opening up our Group SMS system. Enclosed is the announcement. Please send me email <keith....@padpaw.net> if you have any questions....Keith

*****

Padpaw, Inc. <http://padpaw.net> is pleased to announce our Beta API for adding group text messaging to your web site or social network.The API is perfect for social networking sites that want to quickly add text messaging capabilities to their services without the long implementation of getting a short code, working with an aggregator, or getting a campaign approved. 

Text messaging to groups can be challenging. While it's straight forward to send a single message to an individual from your web site, managing group communications are more complex. Padpaw is offering this capability which has been developed and tested with real live groups.

The text messaging service consists of a REST API to Padpaw's messaging server which allows for a quick integration. Individuals and companies wishing to use the API will need to register with Padpaw to obtain an API key. You can find out more information, including documentation at our web site:


Future API releases will incorporate other Padpaw features such as event RSVP, sign-ups, and polls.

The service is in Beta and we're looking forward to you trying it and giving us your feedback. During our limited Beta program, you can use the messaging system to up to 200 messages. Pricing for our production version of the service will be announced later.

Features
  • Built for group messaging, both for one way messages (announcements and alerts) and group interaction

  • Padpaw handles double opt-in/opt out process required by the carriers

  • Approved on all US carriers
Advantages
  • They're your members not ours. We don't market to them or try to sell them other services

  • Easy to use by your member. Service is keyed on group name and not keyword. This means you're members can use common sense commands like "join" "post" etc..
