We’re aiming to be pretty open about what we’re making with Treasuremytext2 and why. We know our current community of Treasuremytext users love the service and we want as many people as possible to get to know Treasuremytext2; which one the one hand is a ‘next generation’ Treasuremytext, and on the other hand is a brand new app for a new era of web and mobile apps.
So we wanted to share our Treasuremytext Manifesto, which sheds light on why we do what we do! We’re also working on defining a set of principles for great design (or our mobile+webapp) which we’ll share just as soon as we’re happy with it.
The Treasuremytext Manifesto
- Mobile is personal. Mobile content and communication is important to people.
- Just because it’s mobile doesn’t mean it’s throwaway. We’re human after all.
- Some people want to keep some SMS messages forever. It’s a fact!
- Some people want to keep their SMS secret. Shh!
- The web is a great place to do stuff. Big screens and handy stuff like AJAX make it quick and very functional.
- Simple technology is good: for everyone.
This set of principles is what we knew when we first conceived Treasuremytext. In fact, we’ve been treasuring texts since 2003 and we’ve learnt a lot about what works, what doesn’t and why people want to do this and why people love the service. Watch this space for the next generation Treasuremytext2. Like the original but way, way better!
