If you are a phone texter and want to keep in touch with hausmates on the run, check out http://txtmob.com. There's a private group called Hausmob, and if it works, could be a great way to keep in touch on the ground at conferences (not like I go to them much). Click here to and add a request in JIRA to get added. (Be sure to leave your txtmob username in the JIRA!!)
