“Power Texting”: It’s A Lot More Boring Than “Idol” Conspiracy Theorists Would Have You Believe
1. You are going to create ten contacts in your cell phone (Adam1, Adam2, Adam3, etc.). 2. Create a contact group (also known as a distribution list) and name it something like “Adam For The Win” and add your contacts (Adam1, Adam2, etc.) to the group. If you don’t know how to do that, check the manual for your phone or go to the AT&T Support Site 3. Add the voting number for Adam (570x) to each of the contacts. At this point Adam has two numbers, but you can ONLY text to the FIRST number (Adam’s performance order number). Do this during the show before the voting starts. 4. At the end of the show, send the message “vote” to your “Adam for the Win” contact group. This sends the message to the ten contacts at once. It will take a couple of seconds more than sending a single contact. 5. Now, resend or forward the same message to your contract group over and over for the next two hours.
So, yeah. That’s pretty much it. If you’re going to take the sponsors to task, at least maybe talk about how AT & T’s coverage actually does not provide more bars in more places in the Western part of the country? If anything, that’s the sort of embarrassing sponsor-related ranting that will get results.
