Thanks Robin
Robin gave me this idea; well I stole it from one of his Tweets! He is flying the Flag for Ireland this week as a Seedcamp Finalist with new business venture Decisions For Heroes .
11850 announces they have a new SMS service that is free while they launch it. You can text them any question and they’ll answer it (no-doubt using Google) with an SMS. (In UK use 63336)
It wasn’t until I heard that the people answering us were a team waiting for our questions in Manilla was I seriously intrigued. Had I got my business message right? Could a person in the Philippines not only find but also summarise my new business into 160 characters for me?
I got out my phone and texted 11850:
What is “Decisions For Heroes”.
It is a collaborative rescue team management tool to record and analyze rescue operations.
Now you can’t blame me for trying…. a girl needs to keep on top of things
So I sent a text:
