Send these commands to (206) 694-9197 and interact with Swaggle on your mobile phone.

== Commands ==

=== Joining Swaggle ===

* '''.join your_group_name''' or '''.create your_group_name'''

=== Sending messages ===

The first group you join is your default group. Any message you send to Swaggle that isn't a command (like ".join"), we'll assume was meant for your default group, so we'll send it to out to them.

Of course, you can be a member of more than one group, so you can specify which group you want to send a message to by starting your message with the group's name followed by a colon:

* '''mygroup: Happy hour now at McPhee's'''

=== Basic commands ===

* '''<group>: <message>''': Sends a message to everyone in a particular group (e.g., "ultimate: game at Cal Anderson NOW!").
* '''<name>: <message>''': Sends a message to another Swaggle user (e.g., "JohnS: I like you!").
* '''.JOIN <group>''': Adds you to a group.
* '''.QUIT <group>''': Removes you from a group.
* '''.QUIT''' Removes you from the Swaggle service entirely.

=== Advanced Commands ===

* '''.CREATE <group>''': Creates a new group and adds you to it.
** Include the keyword "private" to create a private group: .CREATE ultimate private
** Include keyword "broadcast" to create a broadcast-only group: ".CREATE flashmob broadcast".
* '''.INVITE <group> <one or more 10 digit phone numbers and/or names>''': Invites people to join the group.
** If the group is private and you are a member, this pre-authorizes the invitee(s) to join. Swaggle names can be used in addition to phone numbers: ".INVITE flashmob 2065551234 2064441234 karlc"
* '''.HUSH''': Mutes Swaggle until 8 am the next morning (Pacific Time)Messages sent to your groups during this time will not be delivered to you at all. You can also specify a particular day to hush until by sending .HUSH September 1 or .HUSH 9/1/07. To start receiving messages again send .HUSH off.
* '''.DEFAULT <group>''': This will set your default group.
* '''.DEFAULT''': Find out what your default group is.

* '''.ECHO <ON / OFF>''': Sets whether you will receive copies of messages you send. On by default.
* '''.REPORTER <group> <name>''': Designates the person named as a "reporter" for a broadcast-only group, meaning they can send messages to the full group. Only an owner can designate a reporter: ".REPORTER newsevents WalterC"
