Why is this so exciting? Well it's simple...

First - to understand what's truly going on here, check out eHow's Alexa rating below. You can click on the image below to see the website's actual traffic statistics (it's impressive):

According to the screenshot above, eHow is ranked #50 in the US. That means according to Alexa they are ranked #50 out of ALL websites here in the US in terms of the amount of web traffic they receive every month. Yup - they receive that much traffic.

Now, take a look at the 3 screenshots below, particularly the last two. Notice that they only mention and recommend 3 companies to use if you're looking for a group texting service... =)

"Even without a web-enabled smart phone, you can use the web on your cell to improve your productivity. Text a message to Google SMS ("466453") to get weather forecasts, translations or metric conversions (see References below). Or keep in touch with multiple contacts or a mailing list with a service like Trumpia or Twitter."

But obviously don't use Twitter! Trumpia is better than Twitter if you're a business, service, or organization that wants to do mass sms texting and mobile marketing.

Anyways, thought this was very encouraging and exciting. Thanks for the Christmas present eHow!

Have a very merry Christmas Trumpia family! A LOT of text and email blasts went out yesterday and today. I'm sure a lot more will be going out tomorrow for the after-Christmas sales and promotions. =)
