Individuals, as well as colleges and universities, are considering these and other measures in the aftermath of the Virginia Tech massacre, seeking to improve how they get the word out about emergencies to friends, family, or thousands of students across sprawling campuses.
"People use all different kinds of wireless devices today and the YapLink service bridges messaging to all of them. It can be used for any list, from personal groups of friends, to organizations and family emergency preparation," says Matt Cannata, co-founder of General Technologies.
The technology, developed in response to the Hurricane Katrina calamity, has been available to the general public for nearly a year. Due to recent tragedies and events, the company feels the public needs to be aware of this service more than ever. YapLink.com and services like it fill the need for groups to receive important messages.
YapLink is one of many services that offer broadcast messaging. Most recommend that the public research their options, sign on to a service, and set up their recipient list before the need to use it arises.
YapLink sends text messages to users of any communication device and is paid for by advertising revenue, not the user. Users can sign up, manage their lists, and broadcast messages online at http://www.YapLink.com.
