Txtms.com - A Mobile Calling Card

Think of TxtMs as your mobile calling card. It allows you to create a profile (this one for mobile purposes) and exchange it with others via your phone. It’s an old concept that’s been given a technical twist. To get started, register for a free account and fill out the profile form—input website, contact info, nickname, titles, and any notes you’d like to add. To exchange profiles text your user id to x@txtms.com. From within your dashboard you’ll be able to edit your profile, sent your settings and keep track of profile requests and your contacts. You can add requests manually or set Txtms to do it automatically. Contacts may be sorted by category or alphabetically. The only costs you may incur are carrier fees for texting.

“Txtms allows you to share or exchange your custom profile with others in a fast and easy way using a mobile phone.

Simply share your Txtms User ID with others and Txtms will take care of the rest. Txtms is free and no software download required.”

This certainly makes business cards look outdated. It’s a simple idea, but it works well. Sending text messages has become second nature. It’s only natural that mobile users should be able to exchange contact details without having to scribble on napkins or make test calls

This is pretty simple—perhaps too simple. Will users find it useful, or will they stick to old habits. Are there widgets in the work? Will you be able to incorporate this with your blogs or social networks?
