Services that have become major success on the Internet are now increasingly going mobile. From hunting for jobs to forming online communities, cellular phones are increasingly being used by service providers. For instance Webaroo has announced the launch of SMS GupShup, a free group messaging service in India that allows mobile users to create groups of any size and communicate with them.
Messages sent by the group creator are forwarded by Webaroo, at no charge to all members of the group just like an Orkut or Yahoo does for Internet users. The advantage in the mobile version is that at the cost of sending one SMS you can send the same message to even 100 different people. Using a single SMS message, users can join any group they choose. They will then automatically receive messages posted to the group as an SMS on their phone. Similarly, one can use SMS messages to create ones own groups, invite friends, and post messages to the group. Additionally, users can also run a poll, rating and quiz within their group.
