[Megaphone] Automated Texts/Twitter/Facebook for Teams (2014)

[Zach O]

Hey everyone! We're happy to announce Megaphone is back for 2014!

Megaphone

Megaphone keeps you up to date with your favorite FRC teams. You can sign up to get automated text messages when teams win/lose their matches, two matches before teams are about to play, when teams gets picked to be on an alliance, or when teams win an award. Additionally, you can automate your team's Twitter/Facebook account to post status updates for any of those actions, to keep your fans and followers up to date.

We're launching the website now, but we'll be fixing up some of the rough edges over this coming week (for instance, you can't change your phone number right now - that'll be working soon). Other long term features will be coming, like mobile friendliness, password resets, etc.

To follow updates about Megaphone over the season (downtime, website changes, added features, etc) you can follow FRCMega on Twitter. If you find any issues, your carrier isn't supported, or you want to give me feedback, feel free to message me on Chief, tweet me at FRCZach, or send me an email at admin[at]frcmega[dot]com

Additionally, I'm launching something new this year. Cheers! Cheers are a way for teams/companies/individuals in the robotics community to spread their messages. If you sign up for Megaphone, you'll be receiving Cheers. You can read more about Cheers here

Thanks everyone! Enjoy Megaphone.

As a note: Since the website is completely custom this year, Internet Explorer won't be supported. You're welcome to try though!
