GuerrillaTweets.com - Accessing Tweets Through SMS

With Twitter being the communication milestone of these days bar none, it is completely natural that tools and apps bringing it closer to other communication services will emerge. Mobiles and Twitter are too good a match to bypass, and as such this service that couples text messaging with tweets has been devised.

In principle, it will let you make the content of any tweet accessible to any person who has a cell phone. Note that a cell phone suffices – there is no need to have a smartphone of any kind to benefit from such a system. More tellingly, the other person does not necessarily need to be subscribed to Twitter to take part of the conversation or discussion. A system like this one can be employed to collect feedback and also for promotional duties, which is one of the main tasks Twitter is put to actually.

Technically, a GuerillaTweet is a Twitter account or Hashtag which is posted on the company’s own system. As it was just explained, the main advantage these have is that of accessibility. People who don’t have a Twitter account can access the updates, and they don’t even need to get near a computer to use this system.

It is a novel idea for a change. I don’t know for certain the impact it can have since some carrier fees are obviously to be met, and Twitter is free by definition. While it is true that it brings some welcome flexibility into the picture, I am uncertain whether or not people will go for it so eagerly owing to that.

“GuerillaTweets is a powerful mobile marketing and dialogue solution that extends Twitter by making Tweets accessible via SMS. With GuerillaTweets, you can promote events, collect feedback or even have a conversation with more people by making posts instantly available to anyone with a cell phone. No Twitter subscriptions or smartphones required - just a simple text code is all they need to get your latest update or participate, anytime, anywhere.”

It brings Twitter to a whole new public, and one that might not experience it otherwise.

What are the basic fees that apply?
