Organizing people and things

I've been thinking about a way to organize people and things.

One idea I've been thinking about is a mailing list.

I have two thoughts on this:

A mailing list like {group-list@bbbburns.com} that we make everyone in our group of friends a member of. If you have stuff to email everyone in the group.. then send it to this one email address.

A mailing list like {group-list-txt@bbbburns.com} that we make everyone's cell phone (like #@vtext.com for verizon numbers) a member of. That way when I want to tell everyone we're meeting at the bar in 45 minutes I can just send one email and make sure it gets to everyone's phone.

I've already configured my mailserver to do both of these things.

All I would need from you is an opt in by sending me your email address and your txt email address.

Does this sound like something useful to anyone?
