Description: PGH SMS is an Android application that is a mix between Google Latitude and a local sms app. The primary function of the app is to act as an intermediary for group events and chat. It is an overlay of Google Maps with user created events composited over top. The catch is that when someone posts an event, they set a radius at which that event expands to so only other users within that radius can access and respond to it. This would allow communities and individuals to 'shout' events and meetings to their street, neighborhood or city. The possibilities are endless!
