cclambie writes"

Here is a great new way to advertise your gigs! It is called What Was That.

Basically by setting up a code such as “yourname” your audience could then SMS the word “yourname” to 199 33 111 find out when your playing next, try it SMS “yourname mm” to 199 33 111*.

What Was That does not require anything other than you to add the code and a small logo to your advertising to encourage people to use it. In fact you could earn $$$s from the service.
