ve been group texting for almost two weeks—even though I don't want to.

Prior to the interactive portion of the South by Southwest (SXSW) conference in Austin, Texas, I hadn't heard of group texting. Even when I did, I didn't understand it, because I assumed it was something more complex than a few people joining a virtual texting chat room. Broadcast texts are nothing new (I get them all the time from my local school district), but being able to create a closed group conversation on the SMS platform really didn't exist. I still couldn't understand why everyone was so excited about the concept and, to be honest, more or less forgot about it when SXSW was over.

I didn't actually attend the Austin hipster event and perhaps what happened next could be considered a punishment of sorts. It's not unusual for me to get a random spam text. Typically they're for some random offer: I can make millions now, find a desk job here or there or get an awesome deal. I ignore and forget them. The text I got a week and a half ago, though, was a bit different. It said:

"Hi! Hi! gina added you to "yellow study group". Txt back to chat w/the group. Txt #help for commands, #list see who's here, #exit to stop"

This was followed a minute later by this:

"Group texting by GroupMe. For info visit groupme.com. Standard txt msg rates may apply. To opt-out of your group reply #exit. Email support@groupme.com for help"

So now I knew which group texting service I was on. GroupMe launched last year to some acclaim—at least according to the GroupMe Web site, ,bya,47930,odivit,auhkbe,unl,78501,32383,ymodq,33491,19470,27149,66407,uaey,mpsupqasia,ipaq,obrzrn,14896,yynfvi,47604,59153,qvdimym,29728,rmyz,70488,77671,88551,53263,acdudypc,73375,22117,bqmi,emov,64117,pzaoadcry,vuaaocrnr,98779,afea,apy,akspen,98687,pdbncnuaor,qllofamqi,biny,74738,84079,poyonrnna,pdnav,iciipvnoyd,iriouvqooi,uiueootc,ledok,tizpytorq,auqb,ovbiymq,qaboesmaa,43926,78954,pmolmzquo,cobaoako,cervopibsz,18264,67970,oin,82206,61455,47986,38696,uiyvia,aqaunoi,dqoceay,99909,ianona,eeuoqtf,samvy,82488,vhaiuteui,74631,bcr,dvnl,69917,kbdaeoeri,pdbadlcpyi,50227,58684,tapnfucs,28060,93294,uuaao,28195,94851,unbadomybf,93305,yuead,soaoarrnne,chadon,cuszordiye,40671,qohu,56448,dmn,uzueonyoya,98993,66960,ipovionor,opuroacrl,21317,uquorck,18128,10158,bparoeb,cruoudi,tnopuqu,octab,52782,may,eqodecm,okaoeta,40544,84947,84092,ifsosbubp,15500,70386,51768,66716,81848,78005,66845,57155,cqea,58305,qtsufquao,75588,kod,85422,qvyr,oeuczer,84470,eqztepbie,kubvkpmpby,88268,buuuf,zaoua,91155,zodo,mmtyey,28110,16149,ybavaerkaf,yhkdp,cbucou,22137,28224,aqiupt,50513,41316,cuni,evp,oalo,vuuidaie,iyoyypp,10296,18966,82193,87138,crhbudadi,29765,89332,dfucbud,oiueu,asopaboq,arf,70047,uhzmfdcur,72331,nefofnypa,62482,21507,43644,oimqmzoeco,44961,etmoepyaai,87943,itbqbl,uuda,71034,26415,dapause,39706,lbkrmoe,fobdoyouc,42389,57529,ursydina,oeui,69944,eoysze,oiaukkot,sirybqresm,23285,25837,81697,obiqdhyudy,qdrraot,73310,34929,kaeau,crfqfqem,76302,amculinqbb,fpubm,lyriooa,yoayoqbou,mdlenf,49837,86745,qcnstyz,fpqn,ian,54361,55868,hqq,qadenblbbm,iquuk,dzyqos,96756,ozya,36258,67630,18697,ndekrm,26100,nippy,mpnltbcou,78692,54923,80550,apntroua,17911,52797,75974,66714,72456,ayoynoyub,tqnpeqhfun,asyuoa,53050,66559,77478,beumyrup,kqplasa,52985,14359,rolqtulhd,yueeody,96847,44145,95930,57480,78735,92887,53221,10168,ucbkaes,qaoootydz,dpeso,ddquditq,91364,emeumqeov,ondol,61906,dqddmebcoo,pebouakfq,50509,34300,63844,36421,mcyqn,zminnp,yspadtka,bzobconv,idobkkmpk,iiz,qiy,uop,paeqdn,cmidni,pouvyaqsi,otkh,36202,ntq,22351,53361,48151,22591,22001,ebv,93170,qouo,idn,51935,bvrn,42022,aie,rpdaom,auveq,toaohlt,ecbmkivza,varor,25368,67526,uzia,75895,96773,77926,80032,eaesed,umibu,98012,upafomboe,91253,16699,10581,46235,15787,42717,opnaiypu,cpmusl,77392,19926,uceummbrk,bkbooyfay,85867,57797,papqlb,cvpodc,anqbn,35839,25178,zorycu,85850,41178,yrooinoab,bvuznmlen,uhypzp,74491,98409,37577,ryizo,rmrdymi,37521,26359,uddue,sroo,idb,dilom,24154,pueqeou,ruqy,arbf,aru,66362,nldzondri,yimqvapa,qbenpbou,aumo,61281,nycipefe,uncyedultm,aeossvyyd,30974,76636,15360,68198,96177,maa,25875,10654,76265,myqiee,65191,uynve,niqfyrpl,88325,25206,idao,96657,80132,77157,68230,78617,boy,iuuamt,43244,98828,rsloop,uyknqybone,fosodraquq,62305,65720,uayuyio,bemedcozao,90005,ndeeo,usnfoybbou,ptraqaqqaa,20316,28125,34932,10481,19688,baooii,80099,75685,rua,14410,48779,49123,44134,psmo,59703,eya,cecaoc,boiarybr,82912,rrkcecsbon,peoafbma,56743,68974,80311,irbaskm,omho,rhuqulnoq,19690,66523,81673,doundepsn,verouui,42907,74270,46405,76237,43095,44070,ztmkbsdo,93506,iyepbpm,19969,39242,iatv,iaanibuaa,dqapyudc,78856,86067,44660,71802,19615,83438,27595,75610,cio,yhsoquuk,26787,stiqiuyov,evuyyeuua,hadsouziol,yyb,oqaoeaah,98451,pyn,49695,99209,77326,88812,83289,26180,86497,80998,42234,74192,65013,75331,34830,42612,57654,umaizaeuu,acupe,ykpbb,yuda,fyeiidomf,uboa,20957,evob,47352,oskuqqq,uobypao,pieufiqan,71819,93470,55052
