Building SMS-based expert networks on txtWeb

 

Hello txtWeb community,

 

I recently came across this application http://voicetap.in and was wondering if anyone is building an “expert network” of sorts on the txtWeb platform. Maybe it could start by being a simple, text based app (no phone calls), similar to Aardvark (http://vark.com/ask) but on SMS as opposed to g-chat. The macro concept here is to help users find answers to those questions where Google is not very helpful … or enable users to post questions and get advice from peers or specific subject matter experts.

How about an idea of personal classifieds. It would be based on the same functionality that enables an expert network (users entering their profile through the app … and some matching algorithm). The app could suggest 3 to 5 “matches” every week and then users can reach out and start chatting on the app. We can even enable picture exchange if they have camera enabled phones
