SMSable For Sale Signs

It seems like a fairly obvious use of the technology, but real estate "for sale" signs in one city in Florida will soon be getting SMS codes that people can plug in to get more info about the house they're standing in front of at the moment. It's sort of a modern update on the old paper fliers that are often found attached to "for sale" signs. Yet another example of how, with mobility added, the analog and digital worlds start to meet.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team
