I hate these services. Cannot recommend them. Just be sure this is an opt IN and has a working opt OUT!
To err is human to really mess up you need a computer

My previous employer setup VoiceShot[^] as a platform to distribute emergency office closed type messages. I think during the 3 years between when they set it up and I left it was only used for the annual system test message...
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.

Thanks for the info. Was it because it was not user friendly?

I have no idea how usable it was on the admin end, but they never had to do an emergency office closure after setting the system up.
Or at least not in my building. A few of the coastal locations had hurricane shutdowns, and the other local building had a watermain problem that they encouraged people to work from home if possible (to try and avoid having to buy 200-300 people's worth of bottled water) until it was fixed that might've happened after the system was setup.

Spok
EverBridge
I know we use them both at different locations.
I have no insight into the use of them.

Thanks! I'll check those out.

try X-matters.com
We use it for on-call notification and escalation as well as emergency notification
I am sure it will fit the need how ever I do not know the cost (We support 18,000 employees with 5 hospitals and dozens of clinics )

Looks good. Thanks for the info!

try bulksms.com
No voice option, but great for bulk sms text messaging - international coverage.

I'll check it out. Thanks!

Our county sheriff's office uses http://www.nixle.com to send text message notices of accidents, road closures, etc. It works pretty well. Not sure if it's a solution for you or not.

We just started using Everbridge at work for inclement weather and emergency notifications.
I can't speak to the set up by the owning office, but the UI for configuring how you want to receive messages was very simple to use. It sends to voice, email, and text and you can choose which of these to get messages on and in what order.
The Safety folks set it up with work phone and email, and each user gets to register and add any other numbers/addresses they want information on. Very easy.
Good luck!

A place I used to work at used Rave Mobile Safety. Seemed easy to set up as a user (recipient).

This is one of the current news articles: Scientists turn memory chips into processors to speed up computing tasks[^]
Ok, I get it that they make ternary memories. That's fine, but not really sensational. Using ternary memories does not magically speed up the entire system, as they would like to make us believe. It would simply extend the value range of the memory words and also raise the question of how to interface it to a binary bus without creating a bottleneck.
Then they write:
"Asst Prof Chattopadhyay who is from NTU's School of Computer Science and Engineering, said in current computer systems, all information has to be translated into a string of zeros and ones before it can be processed."
Nowhere inside that box under your desk anything is translated to a string of zeros and ones, if we forget some Q&A ideas for now. Serial communication may speed up if you are not limited to binary symbols, but that's about all.
If this 'News' makes any sense at all, it may be that they made a new sort of serial ROMs that need less time to up- or download their content over the serial pins. That's nice, but not really so spectacular.
Edit: I was right. Those memories are indeed just a new sort of serial ROM.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

Read the same and wondered how, as they claimed, this meant the CPU was no longer necessary, unless all they've really built is a ternary dynamic PLA. (for which speed is rarely an issue and a CPU even less, if ever, a requirement.)

FPGAs and microcontrollers also 'boot' their configurations from serial ROMs and it's nice that they can speed up the process a little, but it's not really that sensational.
