MIT SMS Arts Initiative

MIT is making it easier for students, faculty and staff to learn about the hundreds of energizing performances, lectures and other art events taking place at the Institute. exduco reports.

"A new messaging service rolled out this semester gives users up-to-the-minute information about the arts at MIT. For example, users who want to know what is happening in the arts on a given day but who aren't near a computer can text "arts@mit" to 617-785-9844 and receive a message of times and locations of all the art events occurring that day.

The service, MANGO Text, was designed by three enterprising MIT graduate students in response to the growth of rapid-fire wireless text messaging."
