Abstract
A method and system for individuals to quickly and easily share behaviors, actions, photographs, videos, other data, and/or posts on, but not limited to, a social network without needing to be logged into, or even having an account on, the social network/website. The system uses, but is not limited to, existing texting technology as an easy way for the individual to send keywords and/or additional information. The texting system has the ability to bi-directionally collect and send data from/to the texting device (e.g., cell phone) and has a bi-directional communication scheme to transfer the data from the texting system to the appropriate social network/website. The texting device provides a unique ID such as, but not limited to, the phone number, which can optionally be linked to an account. The social network then processes the information, optionally stores the information, and/or responds. Feedback may be presented by the website texting back to the texting device, presenting the response on a separate display, displaying the information on the website, or by other means. The content of the feedback can, but is not limited to, encourage the individual to complete certain goals, remind them to take action, suggest actions to take, thank them for what they have done, provide information to them, and/or incorporate their texts and photos with additional information into documents that can, optionally, be printed.
