SMS to RSS a tool for disaster recovery

Shocked as we all were by Virginia Tech shooting read this interesting post from Creative Development Team at Sheffield Hallam

I also have an interest in SMS in disaster recovery linked to personal experience around 7/7 bombings in London . 160 characters in txt message isn't a lot of words but they can count for a lot when you need to get through to people and conventional phone network is down .

I attended sms in education conference a few weeks ago. Look at link to conference on sms texting in education http://andysblackhole.blogspot.com/2007/04/talking-about-text-their-raving-about.html

plus the neat video. Also ability to create rss feeds from a website blog posting increase chance of getting your message out. www.txttools.co.uk one of there customers Yorkshire coast college has done a really good podcast about it http://podcast.ycoastco.ac.uk/weblog/admin/2007/04/26/PodcastingandSMSmp3.html
