Cel.ly
The find:Celly believes "small messages change the world". You create mobile social networks called 'cells' where members can communicate in real time via text messaging. The best part is, members subscribe to your groups rather than you spending lots of time entering information (like you used to with old text messaging groups). Cell administrators determine who is allowed in each group as well as the amount of interaction their cells are permitted to have.
The test:
Currently our school has cellys working in many areas. Several classrooms, coaches, and educational leaders have created cells to communicate important information with their members. The administrative setup takes only 10 to 15 minutes, and members join with a simple text message. As with many smart phone tools, the initial setup is easiest if you have access to a computer as well as a smart phone. While you can complete everything on your phone, there are many parts that are much simpler if you have a computer keyboard and mouse. Also, keep in mind that celly messages are designed to be 140 characters or less. Longer messages are split and sometimes parts can be lost.
