Those disc jockeys are in for it now! A new technology has been released that will enable listeners to message the disc jockey directly, for a nominal fee of course. Now listeners can badger and pester the jockey into playing whatever they want. Utilizing any mobile phone with SMS functionality, the listeners can use this web-based service, called, unfortunately, SMSJock, to text directly to the disc jockeys. Likewise, this serves as a communications hub since the disc jockey can broadcast to their listeners’ mobile devices via this service.

Why? Two of the radio stations I listen to use AIM, I’ve IM’d them songs I’d like to hear with perfect success.
you tell me. apparently someone’s going to make some money off of this.
i agree AIM is effective, but sending a request while on the road can be a pain and usually we do listen to radio while on the road..
I always thought something like this would be cool for mobile DJ’s as well. Like at a large High-School dance, the students could just text you their requests instead of walking all the way up to the DJ table.
