In honor of Black Friday I thought this would be a fun application that many of us could use – text reminders of where we parked. According to the Minneapolis St Paul Business Journal…

Enter the MOA’s text-messaging service, which is designed to help shoppers find their cars in the Bloomington mall’s 12,000-space garages.

Adweek reports that it works like this: Signs direct newly arrived shoppers to text their parking level — “Blue Nevada” or what have you — to the mall’s system; later that day, the system will text them back, reminding them where their car is. If shoppers have additional questions, they can respond to the reminder and get a real-time answer from the mall’s staff.

Now if I could just get my bank to text me when I am getting close to my Christmas shopping budget!
