Swaggle SMS

Swaggle is easy to use, we're pretty sure. Still, getting started can be tough. Arcane commands sent via SMS, it's enough to flummox the not-so-tech savvy. So we made a couple improvements to Swaggle this weekend that should help:

• Swaggle Widget: If you want to host a Swaggle group, you can cut and paste a bit of code from Swaggle onto your own web page to encourage your friends to sign up. For example, this one will get you signed up to the Swaggle Beta group. Just click the "Embed Widget" link from any Swaggle group page on Swaggle.mobi to find the code for your group.
  

Enter your phone number below to join the swagglebeta Swaggle SMS group:

• Sign-up from the Web: If you're new to Swaggle, we'll get you started right from the Swaggle.mobi home page. Just fill in your number and we'll start you on your way.

Of course, letting people type in any old phone number could open a vector for SMS spam, which we hate, so we took a number of steps to ensure that we never harass anyone or allow Swaggle to be a vector for someone else to harass someone. Once you opt out or quit Swaggle, we'll never send you another unsolicited message, even if someone submits your phone number through our web interface.
