Today is the first day of the Murphy Mission Trip. We arrived safely in Murphy this afternoon and are now all settled in at our host houses. I have opened a twitter account and will be tweeting (I don't make these terms up) updates about the trip.
If you sign up for an account, you can have Twitter text the updates straight to your phone. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
If it's successful, I'll start doing it for all our trips - and use it as another way to keep you up to date on what's coming up on the horizon.
Here's the instructions to get the updates sent to your phone (it's free except for whatever your cell phone service provider charges for standard texting).
1. - You'll need to sign up for an account. It's free and all you'll need is an e-mail address. I've only had my account for a couple weeks, but they haven't sent me any annoying messages.
2 - It will then ask you if you want to look for friends who are on Twitter. If you are interested in finding out if any old friends are tweeting, then you can do this. If not, you can skip it.
3 - Then it will ask you if you want to follow some famous people. If you're like me and don't care what Ashton Kutcher is having for lunch, you can skip this step too.
4 - Next go to the settings link near the top right corner. And click on the tab that says devices and put in your cell phone number. You'll need to send a text to the number it gives you confirm that it is your number. I haven't gotten unsolicited texts so far from Twitter.
5 - Then go to https://twitter.com/scocyouth, and hit the button that says "follow" and beside it there should appear a message that says "device updates off". Click on that and select "on". It seems to take a day or two for this to kick in. You can also choose hours for it not to send you texts so that your phone won't buzz at 3 in the morning if I just have to post a hilarious picture from a lock-in:)
Give it a try and let me know what you think!
