Text WVUOIT to 41411

September 3rd, 2008 by Sarah Barnes

Dave Olsen over at WVU Web Services pointed me to TextMarks a service that lets you create text messaging services for…well…anything. I checked it out and realized this could be a handy little feature for those of you who are “text-message inclined.”  So, I set up a TextMark for OIT.

To use this, create a text message that just says “WVUOIT” and send it to 41411.  This basically goes to our website and reports back whatever the top news headline is. You can set up multiple textmarks, but this seemed like a good starting point.

Now I am sure there are other uses for this service and I am just scratching the surface, so I’d love to hear from you. What you think might be a useful service from OIT that employs SMS or text massaging?
