Think back to this past Christmas morning. You probably received a text message saying "Merry Christmas" followed by no less than FIVE exclamation points. You saw who the message was from and felt special that on that particular morning they thought of you and took the effort to let you know. When you opened the message you realized that 75 other people had received that same exact message, and of those 75 people you know maybe eight of them. You still feel special, but not quite as special as you did a moment ago when you thought that message was just for you. To make matters worse, if even a single person replied to that message everyone received that reply and it didnt matter whether or not you knew them.

Hash Text allows you to send personalized messages to groups of people without sharing everyones contact information.

Each message can automatically enter the receivers name into the text message wherever you like and as many times as you like simply by typing "###". If you store a nickname for that person in your contacts it will automatically use that instead and increase the level of personalization for the individual receiving the message

-Hash Text allows you to-
•Message groups of people without sharing everyones contact information
•Automatically add personalization to every one of the messages sent
•Most importantly, and like any good piece of software, it operates in a way that is invisible to the end user. When you send the message your friends wont know it was sent using Hash Text

-Some examples of how you could use this-

"Hey ###, Im having a BBQ this Saturday. You should definitely come!"

"Merry Christmas ###, I hope you are having a wonderful time!"

"Dinner is at 7, let me know if you can make it ###!"

Hash Text automatically converts the "###" in the message to the name of the person you are texting AND sends that message to them individually so you dont include everyone in a long running group text!

-This isnt a new idea-
The idea of personalization is used by industries around the world on a daily basis, because we all instinctively know how important it is. When you go to your mailbox and you find something addressed to "current resident" your first response is probably to find the nearest trash can and dispose of this unwanted piece of paper. On the other had, if you find a lumpy envelope with your name handwritten on the front, a real return address in the top left corner, and a hand placed stamp in the top right, you probably arent even going to wait until you get inside before you open it. Hash Text allows you to change your messages from that piece of paper addressed to "current resident" to the lumpy envelope with the handwritten address you cant wait to open.

-Hash Text isnt right for everyone-
If you dont have unlimited text messaging, if you dont message groups of people, and if you dont care about making the people you talk to feel even just a little more special than they typically would, then this isnt the application for you. Thank you for your time.
However, if you DO have unlimited text messaging, if you do message groups of people, and if you care about making the people you message feel special, then I encourage you to take that leap. Message groups of up to 7 people for FREE, and For only $0.99 you can accomplish all three of these things for groups even larger than 7 people.

-Extra features-
•Save lists of the people you contact most so you dont have to select them every time
•You dont have to manage conversations in multiple applications because Hash Text uses Apples already existing text messaging system to send and organize texts
•Optimal group messaging sizes are 2 - 60 people
