Not a bad idea at all about the mid-day text. I’ve set that up to go out starting tomorrow. I have to say, I can do with the focus for sure this week. I’m aiming to release @replies for agtweet on Friday.

I signed up for teamer ages ago and just went back this morning to check it out again. I’m working on a standard subscription model for Agtweet. There are three levels right now for €3, €9 and €16. Each has a different level of replies included. What I’m really looking for is a ‘feature’ that can be added to the middle and top plans to differentiate them. Allowing multiple accounts use the same bundle of replies might be it. This could then be used for a the team situation. Its a little nerve wrecking setting the prices like this. There are about 200 sign ups a month on Agtweet so I’m expecting about 2 paid members a month. Of course, there might be more than that – you just can’t tell.

With Agtweet have you looked at a rate charge for sporting organisations. Something along the lines of teamer.net for organising games/training etc. I know you have a sailing club using it for updates. I’d happily pay for text messages telling me where our dive club was going for the weekend instead of phoning around for info. A club would pay for a bundle of texts sent out. They could predict fairly accurately based on number of members and activity in a given month how much they’d need. Members could reply with availability etc. It would be up to the clubs themselves if they wanted to charge their members for the service and could even charge extra with the extra money going back into the club. And of course they could all log onto Twitter during the week and chat about the game/event/dive/whatever
