One of the first twentieth locations of our trivia system, the 3rd Degree, at Fifty Brews was mentioned in the Orlando Sentinel. The article outlines that it’s a lot like Buzztime, but points out the benefit – that the 3rd Degree solely uses the player’s cell phone to answer questions, instead of a communal device. Check out the Orlando Sentinel to read more.

April 21, 2011 — SAN DIEGO – Dining for Life® and Cellit — a leading provider of mobile customer relationship management (CRM) systems for restaurants, retailers and other companies — have joined forces to give participants instant access to Dining Out for Life information on their mobile devices. Dining Out for Life provides a meaningful way for people to help fight AIDS and HIV in their communities through their Dining Out for Life events across America. At each event, participating restaurants donate a portion of the proceeds from the evening’s receipts to AIDS service organizations. Dining Out for Life events are scheduled to take place across the country on or around April 28, 2011.
“We are thrilled that Cellit is supporting Dining Out for Life. Through their leadership and generosity, potential participants in this year’s event will have unprecedented ease in finding a participating restaurant nearby via SMS text messaging services,” said Stacie Walls-Beegle, chair of the Dining Out for Life International Board of Directors. “In the first year, this service will be available in 12 cities. Our hope is that as Dining for Life grows, this new technology will help strengthen our event and make access to all the Dining Out venue information more easily available to even more people.”
“Cellit is proud to offer mobile services for Dining Out for Life and to contribute to the continued success of this important event,” said David Wachs, president of Cellit. “Our goal with this partnership is simple: we want anyone who is thinking of Dining Out for Life on April 28 to be able to instantly gather all the information they need on their mobile device, making their choice to Dine Out even easier. Through our ‘reminder alerts’, we are further driving participation in the events. We hope our small contribution will make a big difference for this important organization.”
As a result of Cellit’s commitment, those interested in Dining Out for Life can text your city’s code to 30364 to learn more about participating restaurants near you. Participants then can then explore restaurants based on zip code entered within the system and find out further information, including phone number, address and percentage of sales benefitting local HIV/AIDS service and prevention providers.
