I love this discovery again when music meets technology. Before there was a local-based crowdsourcing site but the only option was thru bank deposit. Now it was more convenient thanks to the guys behind Plink.
If i'm not mistaken, this is the first local-based crowdsourcing that can be done via SMS. As their first project, we can help to fly local indie band Flying Ipis to SXSW (South by Southwest) - one of the known music and arts festival in world this March.
So far, it will be available for Globe and TM subscribers. To participate, text INFO and send to 21583668, Next is reply YES. Text FLYINGIPIS(space)AMOUNT [can be 20, 50, 100 or 200] and send to the said number . Donations will be credited thru the person's prepaid load or to be up in their next postpaid bill. You can check more updates at facebook.com/letsgoplink. To get to know more about the band, you can check their Youtube hub at https://www.youtube.com/user/FlyingIpisVideos
