His experience inspired him to start RAINDROP Technologies. Texting has been around for many years. Even former President Obama used it for a fundraiser with George Clooney.
Various Thoughts on Texting
A New York Times article stated how political candidates have been experimenting with text messages. President Obama tried to announce his VP by text in 2008, and his campaign collected 1 million cell phone numbers in 2012.
Some don’t agree with text for campaigns. For them, text is a sacred thing, which is reserved exclusively for people you know enough. One good thing about it, however, is it helps in building crowds for an event and the like.
