Ever need to phone 7,000 people at once?
If you ever need to get in touch with several–or several thousand–people at once, Send Word Now has the software for you.
The New York City-based start-up is promoting a communication application at PC Forum that lets a user type a message on a PC that then transforms into a phone call to a few people, or a few thousand. (PC Forum is owned by CNET Networks, owner of News.com.)
Though the urgent message currently needs to be typed into a PC (or broadcast from a company’s server farm), on April 7, Send Word Now will announce that customers can broadcast messages with a Palm handheld.
Wonder how companies will use this technology, huh? Two words: Phone Spam.
