Seems pretty interesting. Dodgeball is a NYC startup that lets you keep in touch with your friends and friends of friends via text messaging. Some of the capabilities are listed below. I am going to sign up, and I’m sure there will be more to come on this Web 2.0 darling.
| CHECK-IN | @ | Broadcast your whereabouts to your friends.
Like this: “@ace bar“ |
| SHOUT | ! | Broadcast a message to your friends.
Like this: “! anyone want to go to the movies?“ |
| CHECK-IN W/ A SHOUT | @…! | Broadcast your whereabouts to your friends and tell them a little something extra about what you’re doing there.
Like this: “@ace bar ! open bar till 10pm!“ |
