coworking reactee - get your own!

i saw these on some blog in my newsfeed the other day, but Whitney Hoffman reminded me.

Reactees are customized t-shirts printed with a slogan and a keyword that can be sent to a shortcode, and then the sender gets a message back to find out more about the message that they saw on the shirt in the first place.

I was inspired, and created a shirt for Coworking:

Reactee

http://reactee.com/COWORKING to get your own, they’re only $25. I’ve updated the link to use a referral code. We receive 20% of every shirt sold, and that will NOT be going into my pocket but instead into an account that will be used to help fund Independents Hall.

Currently the keyword is set to kick back the first line from the coworking wiki:

Coworking is cafe-like community/collaboration space for developers, writers and independents http://wiki.coworking.info

Who knows what kind of conversation we can start with these kinds of walking billboards zooming around the place. I’m really excited to wear mine!

You can try it without a tee!

Just SMS ‘coworking’ to 41411 to get the intro text, or ’sub coworking’ to 41411 to subscribe to future sms messages. It ain’t twitter, but twitter might want to take some cues on groups from these guys. They set up a pretty flexible admin!

also, I don’t make a dime off referral sales (or sales of the shirt i made). I don’t think I do, anyway.
Again: We now receive 20% of every shirt sold through this link only, and that will NOT be going into my pocket but instead into an account that will be used to help fund Independents Hall. Thanks for your support!

    We use Textmarks to help power the sms delivery of bank balance data to our users. Was thinking about doing text “geezeo” reactees to promote our site.

    @hillary YES! spread the word! I can’t wait to wear mine!

    @Peter i was looking at the textmarks system, it seems to be pretty powerful. do you have any insight into the volume that their platform can handle. im thinking about when twitter buckles…of course that volume is isanely huge, im just curious if you’ve had any service stability issues. I’m admittedly unfamiliar with the reliability of SMS, maybe you can shed some light?

    @Alex - Great idea, I cannot wait to pick one up. Also, I created a shirt for myself (http://reactees.com/dweezel/)to wear as a social experiment. I am curious to see how it works throughout the city.

    @Peter - I like it, fits in well with geezeo’s current service offerings.

    [...] learned about shirts that text you back from Alex, who gave a great explanation. Ready to cause a [...]

    So I just bought one–super neat idea! But I had a thought: it seems to me that the marketing side of wearing such a shirt would be more effective with just a few people. Like, you probably wouldn’t want to get 500 people to wear one to the same event…but if you have some guerilla marketers, or a street team, that’d be an awesome way get the people who typically avoid the street team to still be affected…
