SLAM....
is Microsoft's acronym for its new social networking application. It stands for Social Location Application Mobile. I don't think the acronym makes any logical sense, but the idea is a mass-mobile messaging system that will take SMS to the next level.Of course, this application is geared towards smart phones with an unlimited data plan. There is a way to use this applicatio with SMS, but it seems so much better to have data with all the photo sharing that the group will presumably do. You can share photos and messages instantly with a small group of people. Also, it has location awareness capabilities that will alert you if a friend from your group is nearby. Instead of SMS, the smartphone client application uses HTTP to post messages to the server and to poll for new messages from the server.
