A Presidential Campaign and the Average Joe Have Something in Common - Their Text Messaging Partner

The number of text messages being sent monthly in the U.S. has soared to over 75 billion(ii), a 10-fold increase in just three years.

(prHWY.com) August 3, 2012 - Kolkata, India -- The number of text messages being sent monthly in the U.S. has soared to over 75 billion(ii), a 10-fold increase in just three years. Perhaps the "awakening" came as a result of voting via text on shows like American Idol or parents realizing the best way to "talk" to their children was via text. Whatever the case, SMS has grown up in a hurry and is now a vital communication tool for presidential candidates.

Interlinked Media, http://www.interlinked.mobi/, the mobile application provider to Hillary Clinton's campaign, brands and many other organizations, is responding with the introduction of a text messaging platform and enterprise unit for small and medium-sized businesses - including the average Joe.

There's no going back: Social Security Numbers identify who we are; cell phone numbers identify how to reach us. Going forward, as we continue to shed landlines and access the Internet on our phones, most of the communication that takes place between consumers and businesses will occur there ... and according to Interlinked much of that will be via text message.
