Textmob.org is a cell phone messaging technology from the Institute of Applied Autonomy. It was popularized during the massive noRNC protests in New York City -- against the Republican National Convention in August/September of 2004. Indybay first used this for Reclaim the Streets SF April 2nd, 2005. Check out this quicktime movie if you feel like watching something.
