Interest groups
Why not add a small section to your web opt-in forms that allows users to select products or services of interest. This will allow you to segment your lists more efficiently, sending specific info to each new group and increasing your success rate.
Targeted lists rock and this little change could significantly increase your results.

Concatenation (Long Messages)
A new feature has gone live today. Concatenation has been an oft requested feature and as I’ve said before, we are here to please.
Concatenation, is the process of joining messages that exceed the 160 char limit. Ordinarily they would be delivered as two separate messages, occasionally in the wrong order. With this new feature the long message is sent as two however they are received as one long message. Cool huh.
Any questions regarding this please send them in to the support guys, who are always there to help you out.

gBlast for free?
That’s right folks, we are going to be offering a free version of gBlast very soon. Details aren’t exact at the moment so i wont explain too much but basically the free version will have a fixed monthly limit and will reserve the last 20 characters of the SMS for advertising (most probably our own). We have been throwing this idea around the office for a while now and have decided to implement it on a trial basis soon.
Will report back when its live.

Our API… integrate gBlast features into… well anything
Work on our first API is underway and its looking guuud! As some of you know, an API was not something we had intended on rolling out this early on however enough of you asked that we just had to answer the call of natural progression. We are aiming to give you a first look at it within the next month so keep your eyes peeled and start thinking of interested ways you can integrate SMS into your current projects.
