What it does

Do you want to know what your costumers think of your company? Are you having a hard time getting a hold of them? If you answered yes both times, then you should consider using Textthemob.com. This service will allow you to project the questions through a large screen (or your homepage) and have your costumers text message the answer to you from their phones. This is a great way for you to quickly make a comprehensive market study of what your costumers think of you or your product, without having to spend any money. The basic service is free, but if you find it useful, you’ll be able to upgrade to a paid service that works better and faster. The polling results are displayed in real time, so you can actually see how many people are texting in their answer at any particular moment. Besides the great polling feature, you’ll be able to create message boards for events through the service.

In their own words

“The easiest and most entertaining way to collect feedback from your audience:

Project polls or message boards on a large screen, have everyone send their input via their cell phones and see results instantly!”

Why it might be a killer

The creative approach to polling by text messages is great. Finally someone found another commercial use for text messaging other then American Idol voting.

Some questions

How much are the text messages? Is there a limit to the number of people who can vote?
