Tatango, Group Text Messaging Service, Launches Private Beta Today

Posted by Kevin in July 15th 2008

Tatango is a group text messaging website that is launching its private beta today. Tatango claims to offer the simplest and most effective way for groups to communicate via their mobile phones. Basically the service allows you to message multiple contacts at once from your computer or mobile phone.

Previously known as networkText, Tatango will support faster text messaging, replies to mobile phone, contact importing, and many more features. The company recently received a round of funding from Bellingham Angel Organization in late June and currently boasts over 4000 groups using their service with over 17 million text messages served.

Last September Trumpia was marketing itself as a B2C group text messaging service too but it now appears to be catering to businesses as an all-in-one marketing tool and, albeit it’s primarily a mobile service, their website traffic seems to be lacking. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for Tatango. Here’s a word from Tatango’s founder and CEO, Derek Johnson explaining what his company is all about.
