SMS Stickies: Why people like annotating their SMS

sticky_sms.png

SMS messages you receive from friends can be hugely important: they’re personal memories; important, emotive, poignant. They’re so important that people want to keep them AND to annotate them, so to make this possible we have added ’stickies’ (or comments) to Treasuremytext 2.

So now when you’re organizing your SMS messages you can add a sticky note to one. As we’re about to launch Treasuremytext 2 and come out of invite-only-beta we realised that we were missing this as a key feature. The old version of the application has seen thousands of our users adding their own comments. to individual messages. So why do people want to annotate their SMS messages?

Here’s our top 5 reasons…

It reminds me of…

Some people, as well as wanting to save their messages, also want to write the memory around the text message, for example what they were doing when they received it, or what it ‘really’ means.

Changing the date…
You may receive a message on a Monday and archive it on Treasuremytext on a Wednesday - and then go back to change the date with a Sticky ‘this was really sent on my birthday’ for example. In a future update we’ll enable date editing too.

Feeling more organised…
Whilst we offer Treasuremytext users the ability to organise messages into folders, some of our users also like adding their own longer notes that help them organise things. Some use Stickies like tags: ’sally, liverpool, nightout, sexy’ for example.

Adding context…
Perhaps in case you might forget the context later on. Some SMS are incredibly short but still remind you of something or need saving because they make you laugh. The image above is a perfect example of this.

Commenting on your own messages….
Yes, some people even go so far as commenting on their own messages. “This one’s hilarious” and so on.
