MUSE 3 Social Media Aggregator May 20, 2008

new 'lord of the rings based acronymn' SMAUG = Social Media Aggregator
User Generated content
# demoed SMAUG microblog with SMS i.e. text 'rain ipca <msg>' to 778
552 6873, rain == Raincity Studios (which SMS modem to route to), ipca
= iphone in Canada (which app to route to), whistler and fearless will
have their own number so a string like 'rain' won't be needed
