True - but you have to understand the distrust people have with supplying a website with information like other people's phone numbers. What happens to the numbers after Tuesday? Will the data be used for anything else? Will the message include any additional advertising?
I'm sure you're doing this with the best of intentions, and commend you for that. But you have to understand that healthy skepticism on the internet is necessary to protect yourself.
- gailees 14y agoFor sure. I'm not really sure how to handle that though - any suggestions? The twilio script we are using deletes the numbers after the text "Please Vote Today!" is sent to them. That's all the text will say; no advertising at all.
- flexxaeon 14y agoExactly. There's almost no information. Skeptics (like myself) will want to know who is behind this app, why they're doing it, or something. About Us? Terms & Conditions? Privacy Policy? As someone mentioned above, the fact that it's got am "obama favicon", yet makes no other reference to obama anywhere is also sketchy. Being neutral about the importance of voting is a little more trustworthy. Resolve all those things, and I'm still not to keen on giving out my friends' phone numbers for fear I'm adding them to a spam list.
