With only 67 days to go until the launch of the new TextCu social network, we are starting to see the interest build in what is something a little different to anything else on the market. As well as offering a web based service the network also comes with a TextCu key chain which allows you to receive and send messages via a totally free wireless network.

This is quite an interesting angle because the keychain wireless communicator is set up in such a way that members of the network do not have to give out their personal telephone number to keep in contact with other members of the network (some of whom may not be quite what they seem!). So what is the unique selling point of the TextCu social network?

The keychain (which is available for a one of fee of $100, with no messaging charges for life) is the key to this network and will make or break it. In order to add something of a “niche” feel to the service the company behind this network is only offering limited number of TextCu key chains thereby hoping to cause something of a stampede in the market place!

The key chain itself is a very small but very powerful tool which can be customised to your requirements, is fast and every easy to use. It makes use of the latest wireless technology and unlike some social networks and wireless services, there are no country wide boundaries to subscription.

It is interesting to see wireless networks introduced into the world of social networks, but it is the degree of security which TextCu offers, above the others, which could be the key. The cost of texting services and the like has fallen dramatically over the last few years and TextCu are certainly making use of the growing attractions.
