Webaroo launches GupShup - Indian Twitter

May 23, 2007 · Posted in India Social Networking, India Web 2.0, Mobile India 

Close on the heels of my post on a Twitter like service for India, Webaroo has announced the launch of GupShup, a group SMS service. Create a group (or your own channel), invite your friends to join your group. Any SMS you send to the group will be then automatically forwarded to all those who have joined your group. You also have the option to keep your group and its messages private. The messages posted to all non-private groups appear on their website. Users can also create polls, quizzes and also solicit ratings from the group members.

As per an interview with AgecyFaqs, the service will be supported by contextual text advertising. An ad will appear as text of 40 characters after the main message.

I wonder how they intend to keep the site spam and obscenity free.

    Lakshmi,

    If you’d gone through the post I’ve linked above from ‘my post’, you’d have known that I’ve already written about ActivMobs earlier.

    thanks for pointing out though.
