GroupMe (Extra Credit)



Groupme is a a 3.0 app that allows you to "Start groups with the people already in your contacts. When you send a message, everyone instantly receives it. It’s like a private chat room that works on any phone (groupme, 2011)". The application is made for android phones, Iphones and blackberries. This app allows you to connect with all your finds that are already saved into your phonebook. Once you have downloaded the app for free, it is very easy to get started.

Groupme does not only allows individuals to get into group conversations to talk about their current activities but it also lets you share your locations and pictures on current events. You can set up a groupme account with all you best friends to share favorite pictures instantly. Groupme is the NEW thing and everyone is using it. CNN calls it “an essential addition to your app library”, The New York Times says it an “Elegant in its design.... an excellent choice” and GIZMODO recommend that it is “Lifechanger.... utterly indispensable.... Whether or not you think you need group texting in your life, you won't know how you lived without it once you give it a shot”.

Why not try this new app and get connected to all your friends. Share pictures, your locations and most of all the messages from all your friends at once. I downloaded the app and it is a great tool to use. Instead of sending the same text to all your friend through multiple text messages, send it to the group at once.
