WhatsApp group chats are the worst way to actually get things done.

Especially when only admins can post, or the chat fills up with nonsense solicitations that have nothing to do with the original message.

So muting becomes the default.

[Evant.app @mikesmithped]

Or it gets ignored—because this is group chat #97 for them.
Then the message gets missed.

Then no one clicks the link to the form. And then we’re wondering why Sally didn’t pay for the Sunday brunch.

[Evant.app @mikesmithped]

There are two things nobody ignores. A roller coaster. And a text.

On a roller-coaster second it starts — you're locked in. No choice. Full attention.

That's exactly what a text does.

It hits your screen and you read it. Not later.

Collecting Responses through SMS can be just as easy as standing on top of the Statue of liberity

[Evant.app @mikesmithped]

Texting is simple, the Statue of Liberty is not so simple

[Evant.app @mikesmithped]

Most of the time, people do care.

It’s that the communication channel just is just really bad for this use case.

If you’ve ever heard “I didn’t see it” after sending an important message, it wasn’t a people problem. It was a tool problem.

[Evant.app @mikesmithped]

And if you really need ask them if it is Ok to send a voice note.
That way you are giving them the freedom to respond without the burden, not just throwing it on them.

[Evant.app @mikesmithped]

I didn’t want to share this publicly, but it’s been bothering me for a while.

Receiving unsolicited voice notes on WhatsApp, or any platform, should be illegal, with a fine.

[Evant.app @mikesmithped]

I get that sending voice notes can sometimes be easier, but who says the recipient is free, in a quiet place, wearing headphones, and in the right headspace to listen? It's a lot of assumptions and burdens. Just send them a text message.
