It made a very positive impact on my mind at the first look itself. What an interface, looks really great & simple. Coming to service, it apparently looks to me as combination of smsgupshup & twitter! Tagg.in claims itself as SMS group messaging system as well as micro blogging platform. But they are not simply telling like that.
Firstly registration is very easy, you have to fill only three feilds, email, password & verification code (are you human?). You can activate your mobile phone later, but updates via SMS is what looks great. Registration process can also be completed via SMSs. So you need not to have internet to use this service, just remember SMS short codes & their number. Tagg.in uses local number 99801 99801 so you will be less charged by service provider to update via SMS.
After simple registration process, you can create your own group termed as TAGGtivity. Updates to group can be sent using web interface or SMSs. Your followers can follow your updates in either medium. You can subscribe to other popular groups like CricScores, BrkgNews, SportsNews, JokesGuru…etc to get free updates.
Cons:
- You cannot add your friends mobile numbers to your group, they have to sign up or have to send a message from their mobile to follow your updates. SMSGupShup has a feature where you can add mobile numbers of your friends to your group & start sending messages straight away.
- Updates can be made via only two mediums, SMS & web. I still love twitter because it provides lot of ways to update. May be they are going to add these features in final release, this is still in alpha.
- Lack of badges to display your updates on your blogs or web pages.
I feel it still lacks in features when compared with it’s competitor. Let’s wait and see what features they are going to bring in final release.

Thanks for the write-up, Ed!
- we don’t allow anybody to add anybody’s number to respect privacy, and to avoid spamming and sending indecent messages. it shows that we dont add users just to inflate numbers.
- yes, Twitter allows IM. we shall keep this in mind. at the moment, sms seems quite inclusive. suggestions welcome
- more features are in the pipeline. would love to know what all of you expect.
btw, have you started taggin yet?

thanks for the reply
nice to hear that you have more features in pipeline.
My point is, there are already well established web sites which are providing these service. You have to definitely target users of those platform. Normally people will not accept change so easily, you need to have strong reasons to get them on your service.
ways to updates could be SMS, web which you already have. IM, Firefox plugin, J2ME mobile application, wap access are few way you have to look for. More ways you provide, it becomes much better to use
