[TexasLady]

of people are going to be at various places and get that text...Id love to be in the mall, or a movie, or something, and hear the oh YEAH! or ahh damns, etc.."hey, where were YOU when you got the veep mess.....

This has never been done before, has it? pretty cool.

[Lucinda]

[graywarrior]

4. I was hoping it would happen while I was at work today

I was thinking how cool it will be when everyone gets it all at once, too.

5. wondering about the technicalities - woouldn't it be hard to send out

that many text messages/e-mails at the same time?

or not, just wondering.

15. Spammers manage to do it, zippy!

[MadrasT]

16. Not hard to send

but they for sure won't all get "delivered" simultaneously...

6. " I was walking my dog...driving my car...getting some groceries..

glued to my TV...refreshing my DU page over and over...hollering at my husband, lol...

7. I don't own a cell phone so I'll be at home or at work when it happens.

[Lucinda]

8. I was at the train station dropping off Kid and was intently watching CNN

on the overhead monitor. Someone saw me and came hustling up to check out the news. As soon as he saw it wasn't Obama, he walked away!

10. Is it too late to sign up for one? I'm signed up to the receive the email

but there's no option on BarackObama.com for text messages now.

[Lucinda]

Somehow I couldn't find that link again! All signed up now. Looking forward to hearing the beep while out at dinner tonight.

[MadrasT]

"You can also text VP to 62262 to receive a text message on your mobile phone."

11. Been wondering how many phones will go off at the same time in the: store, library, mall, office,

elevator, parking lot, etc.. should make for some interesting stories and high fives !

[TexasLady]

12. that's just what I was thinking...

it'd make for a funny commercial..a spoof of it at the superbowl or something..

[klyon]

14. great way to make new friends

the word will spread fast
scooping the cable news guys

[Metric System]

18. "Chet Edwards? Who's that?!? Isn't that the guy who cheated on his wife? Why would Obama pick him?!"

[TexasLady]

20. what if we got it at 3 am...

oh the irony...

[JustAnotherGen]

22. I'm in the Wireless Biz
