This didn't seem worthy of an actual thread so i'ma just make it a blog...but I have an idea.
What if when you texted people in a group, it kept the thread linked as if in a facebook message? For example if I text people A, B, C, and D, each one of them gets the message and if they respond it also automatically responds to the others, updating their threads. It seems like such a simple idea but yet I've never seen this implemented on a phone before. It would greatly simplify using texts for any collaboration as you could get everyone's opinions at once without the conversation being fracture across different people.
Does anyone offer this right now? If not i feel like I should patent it. Because it would be awesome.

im no expert, but i think its impossible, from my understanding a text is a one time message, something like this would require a constant connection... wouldnt that mean it would essentially tie up your line?
again, im talking out of my ass but just guessing.

Sounds pretty cool. I dont know how any of this stuff works though.
I admit that it's sad to see the rarity of a phone call these days, I even find myself using text more and more than calling .

No it's not doing anything differently network wise than it does now. The only difference would be the front end GUI that hides the fact you're sending X individual texts to all those people instead of just one to the "group".
The only real problem i see is that the texts would have to come with some sort of data that would tell the receiving phone who they are meant for. Is this messaged meant for the thread that is open with A, B C, and D? Is it meant for just A and B? Or is it a private message between you and A? Your phone would need that info.

Pretty similar to an e-mail no?

Seems like you would just want an app for this the same way blackberry has BBM... you could have a program similar to google wave for cell phones except that didn't suck!

considering all phones use the internets nowadays, it should be no problem. It would probably on a single carrier only or a third party app.
