Re: clueless question! - sortof sms/text related

Hi Mark. Here's my use case. Master process sends out msgs to 5 people, 'hey, gret deal' 1st 100 people get it for price X" The 5 people then send the msgs to their friends, who in turn send to their friends, etc.. Now, in theory, you can already do this with your cell phone.. You whip out your contact list, send the msgs.. done! But for my goal, I'm envisioning a chat/messenger app, allowing the project to capture/track the msgs, so I guess what is needed is an understanding of the nuances/issues for a chat/messenger app.. Thanks. And again, any pointers, either here or offline are great!
