# Live-tweeting everything
A new iPhone App was created, it's called Fast Society it is free and you can add groups contacts into an instant, for a short time, it is combining group text messaging and one-touch conference calling.
Fast Society is the perfect solution for crazed and crowded situations like shows or concerts. Fast Society takes the group texting experience to the next level with conference calling as well as geolocation. The application is awesome because it is simple, but some things are still up for debate. Group texting is fun and useful for a brief period of time, but after a while it either becomes annoying and replaced with another diversion.
After downloading the app, we choose a time frame for the team to be in communication (three hours to three days), and then we add friends by searching through our phone book or adding a number. We can add anyone to your team, even if he or she’s on another carrier. People receive text messages alerting them to the creation of the team, and they can choose whether or not to join (we can also leave at any time by texting “leave”). Upon joining, they enter a kind of text chat room.
During the allowed time period, we can text the team (a process that works much the same as apps like GroupMe), call it via an instant conference call service and easily find and share the location via geolocation. Those using the app can see others as a pinpoint on a map. And you can text your location to your Android-using friends as well.
Once time runs out, so does the group. That way, you won’t have any annoying text chain forever active on your phone.
But it’s a shame that this service is currently limited to iPhone users they’re currently developing apps for Android, BlackBerry and Windows Mobile. Once this opens up to other fields, we can see this service coming in handy for much more than attending shows. From work events to group vacations, Fast Society has the potential to be a real boon to mobile users.
Fast Society is an ambitious effort, as it is currently entirely self-funded. Still, the app managed to snag the role of the official mobile partner of New York’s cmj Music Festival, which is quite an achievement and gained the team direct access to their target audience: Young, concert-obsessed music fans.
Right now, the current iteration is free so how plan to make money?
