crowd-sourcing

A mobile campaign isn’t just great for sending out information. You can also ask your users to text in their information, track their answers, and glean valuable insights about what’s going on in a community.

Ask your constituents for their opinions, or crowdsource neighborhood news from citizen journalists around a salient topic or an emergency. You can then create a graph of the results, or plot your users’ responses on a map.

Mobile Commons also lets your users send in MMS (photo or video) messages.
