txtFeeder

That’s right, we’ve been helping you avoid data charges for 1 month! Today is the 1 month anniversary of the txtFeeder Launch. New users are signing up every day, and giving some good feedback. Heres some things that have been happening here:

• Message Stats in your account
• Efficiency increases
• Feed previews
• Phone synchronization for better compatibility with a larger variety of phones

I’ve been getting some feature requests, some of them, seem like good ideas, some of them… well, lets just say not all of them have been useful.   At this time, helping you avoid data charges, is txtFeeder’s #1 priority. So additional features may not come for a while… But here are a few notable suggestions:

• ‘I want to be able to send emails through text messages, and have them come from my email address’ – This raises a lot of privacy/security issues. While, I believe it would be a good feature, I am not sure, at this time, that it is something I will build into this.
• ‘Can I send txtFeeder a note, and have it save it for later retrieval? Like a phone number, or an address’ I like this idea, and one day, I may build this in.
• ‘I only get X number of texts per month, can txtFeeder stop sending me texts after I hit this number?’ Some type of alerting may be possible in the future. I may build a command that will allow you to retrieve your stats for the current calendar month.
• ‘Can txtFeeder send me a feed at a specific time of day everyday automatically?’ That feature is actually available from a number of other ’subscription’ services. The purpose of txtFeeder is to be ‘on demand’. So you only receive texts when you ask for them.

As always, report any problems you have, share txtFeeder with your friends, and enjoy!
