We’re excited to have launched the 3jam API at the Mobile 2.0 conference this week.

What is the 3jam API?

An easy and free way to build a web application that integrates reply-all text messaging.

What can you build that uses reply-all text messaging?

There are countless ideas. Here are a few:

Planning an event? Send details to friend’s phones and keep the group talking.
Keep your readers engaged by allowing them to share gossip or quiz their friends.
A way to take conversations “to go” for your online community.
Personal safety net for safe ride, disaster alerts or other public services.
Reply-all alerts, i.e. a server goes down, four people need to be notified and coordinate immediately to respond
A word of mouth tool to let people easily talk about and try your product.
Skiing, fantasy football, soccer practice, and trips to Vegas. Keep small groups connected, competing or smack talking.

You decide the purpose and your web site starts the conversation. We deliver the messages and make sure carrier guidelines are followed.

Get an API key and try it now!

No slowdown in SMS even with introduction of mobile email and mobile IM

Dror Bin, Vice President and General Manager, SMS Division, Comverse says that SMS Is About to Become Even More Popular — and More Versatile

SMS is riding a growing wave of popularity. Global consumption will increase from 760 billion in 2004 to a mind-boggling 2,379 billion messages in 2010 — generating a whopping $50 billion in operator revenues.

SMS is one of the most accepted and popular communication channels in the world. Even with the advent of exciting multimedia content, SMS remains irreplaceable, certain to continue to reach new milestones as a global communications phenomenon.

SMS: There’s Just No Stopping It

Industry experts once predicted that MMS would cause SMS to wane and disappear. The opposite occurred: the popularity of text messages is growing. SMS and MMS do not actually compete against each other; they have complementary assets and are used differently. Rather than cannibalize each other’s traffic, they provide the user with more choice, convenience and control.

A basic, extremely effective communications channel, SMS pioneered messaging and data usage, creating a new market reality of broad consumer acceptance. It changed behavioral habits and even language usage in peer-to-peer communication. A convenient way to keep in contact, often cheaper than calling, SMS is only a couple of clicks away on the mobile phone, usually more accessible than emailing from a PC.

SMS usage is still increasing, even though new communications technologies such as MMS, mobile IM and mobile email are available to consumers.

3jam at the Stirr mixer in Palo Alto

We were at the Stirr mixer last week at Blue Chalk in Palo Alto…the event was a great success, and my thanks to Sean and Sanford for their work in putting it together.

That’s me standing next to Sean on the stairs. If you click on the link to the larger photos on Flickr you can see Enlai in the crowd just above Sean’s head and Tom all the way to the back right.

I was introduced to Rafe Needleman, whose technology writing I’ve been following for ten years. We had a great conversation, and he published some thoughts on 3jam on his CNET blog. Thanks Rafe!
