Multi-channeling

I've  been waiting for  Swarm-it to be released and here it is.  I'm certain it's the way forward, especially when you have some people in communities who have easier access to a mobile phone than to internet connection. Ahem - like most people in the world.

It is a multi-channel mobile group messaging system, so you can send messages to and from mobile phones and/or email and/or IM. And it works with different mobile operators. I think this is a major leap forward and I can't wait to try it out with a group, or rather, what they call a swarm. There is a group message board for each swarm and with a logo option. It's very simple to set up. Lots of potential - and farewell stuffy message boards!

There is a free version and a Pro version and I wasn't clear if everyone in the "swarm" has to pay for the Pro version, or just the person who creates the swarm. It is something that really needs to have interfaces in other languages, because many of the people who could really benefit from it are people who don't (easily) operate in English.
