Google and Apple’s iPhone are two words that you will very rarely find combined together. At least not until now! Google has recently launched Disco, which is a group texting service that allows you to mass message your friends or clients from a mobile phone or web interface.
Disco is a service that was first created by Google’s in-house association Slide, which was acquired last year. Ever since, Slide has been operating as a separate entity within the Google property, which is probably why this mass texting service has been released as an iPhone application instead of a service for Google’s very own Android OS.
When you sign for Disco.com, you start by creating an account that is based on your mobile number. The service will then verify whether you are the owner of number by sending you a text message, and if you have been verified, it will then invite you to set up your first group for mass messaging. You can name each group whatever you want, and you can add friends very easily by typing in the mobile numbers. What’s more, these numbers will also be notified that you have placed them in your mass texting group.
Once you set up the group, Disco’s web interface will then make this correspondence seem like an instant chat. Whatever you type into the chat window will be sent out to everyone in your group, and if they respond, it will appear as an instant pop-up on your chat window. This application will also allow you to perform some administrative activities.
