Alternate shortcut signifier for SMS.
My phone cannot send an octothorpe, (hash) for SMS shout commands. I think it would be a good idea to provide a different method to specify shouting/leaving your shortcuts. My suggestion would be to use the left and right angle bracket (chevron) for leave and shout. For example
>home -- This would shout from home.
<home -- This would leave home.
And so on.
>home -- This would shout from home.
<home -- This would leave home.
And so on.
I’m unconcerned

Inappropriate?Hi Jarvitron,
We chose the hashtag because it was available on every phone we could find. What phone do you have?
We can certainly consider another command syntax and hope to dig back into SMS once the API is released.
Cheers,

Inappropriate?Samsung A737. I've since found how to send a hash, but it's a menu-submenu-submenu-selection option, whereas the angle brackets are default options (on the 0 key). Nothing critical, but it does keep me from using the SMS checkin, since it's a bit of a PITA.

Inappropriate?Ok. I'll log this in our bug tracking system. The hash tag is in a very inconvenient place on the iPhone as well, so I've ran into this problem as well.
Cheers,
