Look no further. DOTGO is a new service designed to let you access your site via text message. In the past, the high cost of shortcodes have made texting prohibitively expensive for smaller websites. Now they can SMS for free with DOTGO. Try it out by texting “cnn” to DOTCOM (368266). To customize the response for your site, you just need to create an index.crml and place it in your root directory. Check out the Hello world! example cmrl file and try it out. The CMRL documentation has more examples.

In this case, the medium is the message. Media is changing as we use it just as the text in the video changes as you read it. In the video he writes, “Who will organize all of this data? We will. You will. We are the web. We are teaching the machine. The machine is us.”
