Social Networking Sites | TMS Shortcodes: Mobile Marketing, SMS MMS Short Code, Coupon Discount Directory

The soft launching of our new TMSalert.com (alpha version) has just kicked off today at TechCrunch’s disrupt event in San Francisco, California. TMSalert.com is a social alert platform – first in the world – to offer one location for all social media enthusiasts around the world to facilitate the management of feeds from different social networks.

Few months ago, TheTMSway, developer of www.tmsalert.com, conducted a “user test” campaign which acquired the votes from all of our selected friends who joined the platform’s testing.

After the soft launching today, the company will be working on for the “publisher side” of the platform – to come out very soon!
