Text Messaging to 911? Will it be Practical?

November 23, 2010 by 1 Comment


From a few articles including the recent one I read on Wired, it looks like he FCC is pushing for a new project that let us to send emergency text messages to Police including images and videos. If people don’t abuse the service, it’s an awesome move by FCC.

Considering the problems in time of heavy usage during the emergencies with voice on mobile phones or when the signal is weak, the new technology would lead to better, faster responses from emergency workers. Text messages can get through more often than voice. Therefore, it seems natural to let us have this for our bag of tricks for times when voice service is not possible. Read more of this post

Countries visited awesomize.me past 12 hours - source: Google Analytic

Just about two weeks after the beta launch of the Washington, DC based startup, awesomize.me,  the company has attracted visitors from 26 countries including its motherland US of A of course.
