Startup Offers Free 'Text Messaging On Steroids'

Joopz is a free web site that lets you send SMS text messages from a web browser. Big deal, right? But check this out: You can send to groups, not just individuals, and reply to their replies. You can schedule messages. And you can forward conversations from the Web to your cell phone. Those capabilities give Joopz advantages from the other four media: It's one-to-many like e-mail, instantaneous like phone calls, can be done from a PC like IM, and audibly rings the phone like SMS. It's TEXT MESSAGING ON STEROIDS!
