Trying ClassPager

From Freetech4teachers, I discovered ClassPager. Check out Richard's description here. I've created a class and have made a paper invitation for all the ABE students. I want to see how they respond to this idea and if it will be used often.

Here are my initial thoughts on the technology.
Positives:
Allows individual and group messages.
Allows for polling to use in class.
Allows for texting without sharing phone numbers.
Very simple set up and use.

Negatives:
Only one class is free.
Doesn't have digest into email form.
Another place you have to look for student communication.

What are your thoughts on this?
