2. IPAC Staff Notification Options
Jlab mailing list
All major carriers have addresses associated with phones
Everyone/anyone can send a text from their phone to this address, that phone will then be manually added to the list (by Theo)
You don’t have to know your phone’s address, ever
s to the list will be sent as texts to every registered phone
Pros: Existing lab system, admin control, text notifications (don’t have to open app, etc.)
Cons: Uses system, so not guaranteed-fast, have to train people not to text back (“Meet in room 108” “OK” “OMW” “be rite their” “you spelled that wrong” “shut up” “no you shut up!” “…”)
IPAC twitter account
Setup a twitter account for IPAC notifications
Everyone can sign up to follow it
Anyone authorized can post to it and it will get pushed out to everyone signed up for it
Pros: it’s twitter
Cons: it’s twitter
I don’t really use twitter, so… learning curve (though you can follow #OneFollowerSoFar)
