Want to let Facebook users text you from your profile without giving out your phone number? Thanks to Sandy McFadden, now you can. The “Text Me” application adds a “Text Me” button to your profile which friends can click to send a text message to your cell phone. This is pretty slick but I’m not sure I want to have people texting me non-stop. I’d much rather them send me a Facebook message and I will check it when I get the chance. If you are really my friend then most likely you have my number anyways. Text Me is powered by FreeTextMsgs.com. If you would like to add text capabilities to your profile then go grab the TextMe application.
