Does anybody use CONTXTS?
I was really excited about this during SXSW. A short code SMS that sent your contact info (or whatever you put in 140 char or less) as a text message to the recipient. It then texts you the phone number of the person who asked for your contact info and kept a log of it online.
What happens to all the excitement of SXSW Interactive? We meet these fantastic people with great concepts and try them out but why do we stop using them? Remember how tedious Twitter was in the beginning? Or Facebook? Or Friendster? Is it just our fickle nature to try these products but never actually put them into use?
I'm guilty. I signed up for CONTXTS but never used it. Was it the cost? No, it was free, so why didn't I use it? I also did the same with Dodgeball and dozens of other services. But the lack of hearing about CONTXTS bothers me. It could be used as a great marketing tool. Now don't put me as a CONTXTS fanboy. It just peaked my curiosity as how I was so excited about something but let it collect dust. If you want to try it well you can't. It's gone. The short code is now used for Foursquare. Let's see if that will last longer than CONTXTS.
Social media, it’s great for
