TexttheMob

Teachers, business professionals, and lecturers alike are always looking for ways to help them stand out and engage their audience when making a presentation. TexttheMob can help turn any ordinary audience in to a fun and active learning community when speaking to them, letting you poll the crowd in the moment to receive instant feedback or results. This technology is similar to the iClicker used in college lecture halls but rather than spending that $40 the user only needs their cellphone to text in a response.

Textthemob can be useful in when needing to poll and audience, when deciding the winner of a contest or vote, or even to collect questions for a Q and A session on the spot after a speech. Registering is free on their website textthemob.com but there are also pricing plans depending on the size of your audience and the number of questions you want to ask among other things. A major benefit is that this technology is easily accessed from anywhere there is internet service and is very simple so no experience is necessary. Also as mentioned before the only thing and audience needs for this to work is their cellphone which almost everyone has nowadays. Textthemob comes with a filter to block out vulgar words and is environmentally friendly, preventing the need for paper and pencils when needing feedback. This tool can aid in business growth, presentation style, message facilitation, instant results and even more.
The presentation of the questions and charts used for this textthemob technology are professional looking and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Data is organized and with a post on the right of the presentation screen the audience is informed what and where to text information. The simplicity of everything is what makes it great because all a speaker is looking for is feedback and this is one of the most clever and efficient ways to receive it. The presenter and the audience should have no trouble using textthemob and should receive great results.
