If you have been in the media presentations and PR business you would surely love TextTheMob web service by xMedia Participation. The service provides you with a unique and interactive way to get feed back about your presentation,  let your audience pick a winner in a beauty contest, collect questions for panelists in a live forum discussion and do other similar things.

You can collect the responses from your audience via sms messages or via the mobile web and see or demo the results in real time. If that is not why you collected the feedback you can create a message board from the messages received from your audiences in the hall. In addition to this you can also put up a filter to eliminate bad words etc.

I can see the service being extensively used in conferences like TC50, Le Web, Mobile Beat and so on. On the other hand it would be a good marketing ploy on the part of the people at TextTheMob to offer a premium version of its service to the organizers of these conferences, all of whom happen to be influential bloggers and media personalities.

The service is free to use, however it has a premium version as well that includes additional features such as:

• Your own keyword
• Shorter SMS codes
• Subscription lists
• SMS blasts to your subscribers

• Guaranteed uptime
