Those are some cool ideas. A website did come into mind, but we were warned that not many people will see it since it's "passive" (you have to be looking for it). So, if we did do that we'd also have to do more to advertise the site and let people know it's there. One prof suggested a big direct mail campaign. He also said he knows from experience though that a lot of art directors and the higher up people don't like going on the computers and would rather see the work in full. I still agree that a site is a good idea, plus maybe scott's t-shirt thing to help promote it. Thanks for the ideas! I'll let everyone know and see what they think. EDIT: Oh no! I looked further into http://reactee.com/ and they're currently only available for US residents. I guess that out of the question, for now anyways lol. Thanks anyways scott! Thanks guys!

Then when someone texts your Keyword to Reactee's short code, a text message pops back up on the sender's cell phone with a predetermined message. Check out their website for further explanation as to how they work. Basically your graduation class, everyone, every day, everywhere would be a walking billboard.

That way, you can direct people to your own website without them needing to remember to visit, next time they're online. It'd also be interesting for your readers (myself included) to check out. Just a thought. Hey Sean,
