Frequently Asked Questions (Click for full FAQ)

Does everyone in town have to use MoxMe! for it to work?

No. You can get a lot of value out of MoxMe! even if you keep it limited to your family, friends, sports teams members, customers, etc. That having been said, we've found that as more and more groups join, there's a exponential value that results as more and more people can communicate and collaborate easier. We urge any community looking at implementing MoxMe! on the town-wide level to include the town hall, community center, schools, and other fixed place organizations to take part -- these will anchor your application and ensure it's success.

Do I have to always go to MoxMe! to see what's going on?

No. That's the great thing about MoxMe! -- it exists in many places so you can find it powering your contacts on your cell phone, or in your outlook, or in your Google account. Most people don't go to MoxMe.com except when first learning about MoxMe! and perhaps setting up their account -- but feel free to go to MoxMe.com as much as you want...you just have a broad choice. Remember -- MoxMe! synchronizes its data across all of these places so you can make changes anywhere and it will flow through the system -- assuming you have the right permissions to do so.

Does this work with Microsoft Outlook? IBM Lotus Notes? Google?

Yes, Yes, and Yes. MoxMe!'s synchronization engine was designed to synchronize with each of these platforms.

Does this work with my mobile phone? iOS4? Android? Blackberry?

Yes, Yes, Yes, and Yes. MoxMe!'s synchronization engine was designed to synchronize with each of these platforms.

Is there a charge for this service?

MoxMe! endeavors to make its basic and most popular offerings available for free. Fee-based offerings are premium services that offer a value added extension of the basic services; these premium services are optional. Feel free to use the free services as much as you would like. Our biggest cost is communications expense, and all our packages ask that you buy communications credits should you be using services that we have hard costs on, like SMS/Text Messaging, Voice Broadcasting, and Push Notifications. We don't charge for email, so if you are OK with getting email alerts, you won't incur any communications expense. We know times are tight, particularly in the education and municipality space. MoxMe! is justifying its services in light of the tremendous time and cost savings of implementing our services, and we think that there's value in that. Check out the Pricing tab of this website for more information on our Pricing. We think it's the best deal in town!

What about the privacy of our data? We follow strict guidelines regarding user data?

You control privacy of all your data. Period. Our privacy policies are more stringent and flexible than Facebook's, Google's and mobile phones. All data is presumed private unless you do something to make it less private. You control whether your personal data -- on a whole record or field-by-field level -- is seen by others in your family, your groups, your town, and so on. We consider privacy to be a major issue that we protect for as best we can -- echoing the concerns of our main constituencies -- the towns and schools within them.

What if I want to leave - how easy is that?

One click -- click on "Leave". You no longer get any more alerts. Future events are deleted from your calendar. Simple as that.
MoxMe! simplies many of the most dynamic aspects of running a family

Schools love MoxMe! because it solves so many problems.

Bruce Silva, Superintendent, Mansfield CT

Frequently Asked Questions (Click for full FAQ)

Can we still block Facebook at school if we use MoxMe! for Facebook?

Yes. MoxMe! for Facebook was designed to support a broad range of access -- including access from networks which block Facebook.com. MoxMe! was architected so that you can configure your router (we tell you how) to allow access to MoxMe! within Facebook.com while still blocking normal access to Facebook's normal interface. So you can focus the kids on the school's own Facebook presence without the distraction of status and Wall updates on students' sites.

Can we update our own databases using information from MoxMe! feeds too?

Yes. MoxMe! can update your information as well, should you wish to "turn on" these updates. MoxMe!'s system of feeds were designed to do this if you want; they also can merely read your data and not impact the data in any instance -- your choice. One popular bidirectional activity is maintaining emergency contact information, which changes often. Since MoxMe! is closer to this data on a daily basis, it's a better source for maintaining this information through other means. For more information on this, contact MoxMe! Customer Service.

Do we have to have a Zone Information Server for this to work?

No. If your school or town has a ZIS, MoxMe! can interface with it through our SIF interface. If you do not, MoxMe! can either load databases via export from your system, or you can use our soon-to-be-launched hosted ZIS server to handle real-time connections between your databases and our servers. If you don't know what a ZIS is, you probably don't need one so you can relax.

Is this compatible with Google Apps or Microsoft Office 365?

Absolutely. In fact, the Docs area of the site was designed to provide a view of your documents inside Facebook. The calendar and contact data is synched to each of these too. We're working with implementers of each approach to refine our solution, but our goal is as much integration as enabled by their respective portals.

How does this work with the PowerSchool Parents Portal?

MoxMe! complements PowerSchool, period. PowerSchool is a great platform, and most of our clients use it. Like any software package, PowerSchool had to decide what it was going to focus on and what it was not going to focus on. MoxMe! picks up where PowerSchool leaves off. MoxMe! extends PowerSchool into Facebook and mobile phones. It enhances the roles and responsibilities aspects of PowerSchool making it easy to track Family Relationships and to extend PowerSchool data into other packages that don't interwork with PowerSchool today, like Community Center software. MoxMe! also adds key facilities management and room reservation functionality that many of our clients ask for as part of their calendar applications. And finally, we represent PowerSchool on the website where it does not do so itself. The PowerSchool Parent Portal is a great path into the system to get all sorts of information from the wealth of PowerSchool's databases; we encourage Parents and others to use this.

How is the information backed up? How do we avoid losing our data?

MoxMe!'s server farms are designed with backups in mind. We perform regular backups of our databases, and also regular backups of data before major synchronizations to cover for situations where bad data gets propogated through the system somehow. No software vendor can guarantee 100% against data loss -- heck, who's got defenses against alien attacks or meteor strikes. But we think we've done what is reasonable given our architecture and price points in the market. Want to know more? Happy to share -- Contact MoxMe! Customer Support for more details.

Can you help our community with video at all?

Yes absolutely. Check out our MoxMe! Live Video streaming solution that was designed to bring whole communities online with an easy, cost-effective model -- that is also fully automated. It's insanely cool, check it out.

How does MoxMe! Live Video work with our public access cable channel?

It works great. You can send either live or archived video over your cable channel and manage it like a professional broadcast network with a schedule-based interface and automatic switching. Just select the shows you want to show when, and the system will do the rest. Most cable installations require a MoxMe! Video Network Adapter to bridge the Internet and cable TV networks.

What are the legal implications of video in our community?

We are not lawyers, but we've hired them to answer these questions. We have some materials to send to you on request, but the bottom line is this: - For broadcast of public performances in which there are copyrighted works presented, when you license those works you just need to make sure the license includes the public access channel and Internet channels. - For school teaching workspaces, you should work with your teachers' union on guidelines for what constitutes appropriate use and notification of use. This should be an open not covert use of video that is opted into for everyone's protection. There should be visible indicators on the cameras to show when anyone is watching or recording from that camera, to stay clear of any video surveillance laws. - Areas should have a clear notice that public cameras are in use and that these broadcast over the Internet. Many schools and other town locations are already broadcasting over the cable public access channels, and so many of these issues have already been addressed by current policies. Ask MoxMe! Customer Support for more information.

Can I watch MoxMe! Live Video on a TV?

Yes, in three cases: 1) you have Internet access and a browser on your TV; 2) you have a Roku adapter on your TV which can play the MoxMe! channel, and 3) you have cable TV and can watch the public access channel. Obviously 1) and 2) will give you a more personalized and satisfactory experience. You can buy a Roku box (www.roku.com) at any Walmart, Amazon.com, or many other locations.

Can I use this from the middle of a soccer field in the rain?

We won't ask why you want to be in the middle of a soccer field in the rain, but Yes is the answer. MoxMe! was designed to support last minute cancellations due to unexpected conditions and help "get the word out". Our alerts are also tied to calendar updates so not only can you tell other the game is cancelled, but their calendar will reflect this as well with a line through the title of the event. You can easily reschedule the event in the same fashion any time -- from your mobile phone, desktop, iPad...whatever!

MoxMe! plugs in just as easily. However, some websites are very closed environments, especially if you purchase a pre-packaged solution off the web. The best thing to do is email MoxMe!

How does this interface with our business software that we use?

Well that's a loaded question because different organizations have different software. So let's instead talk about how open MoxMe! is. MoxMe! has many different types of ways to access and include its data in your processes -- that is, the data that is allowed to be made available. The vast majority of our databases are private, eyes-only type access, and so where interfaces exist, it's for reporting and exports of data specific to your use. Businesses, for instance, want to download contact information for people who opted into their discount programs or signed up for their events -- these are legitimate uses, and MoxMe! typically supports standard export options (like .xls, .csv, and so on). When in doubt, contact MoxMe! Customer Support and they can let you know how best to link your software with our systems; sometimes, it's a matter for us to just call your software company and arrange a link.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click for full FAQ)

What is MoxMe!?

MoxMe! is a web-based application designed to support group communications across all sorts of devices and appliances, for the purpose of simplifying alerting and notifications among people, teams, and communities of interest. MoxMe!'s goal is to be an open, private interface network, making its subscribers accessible to any outside entity wishing to communicate with them.

Why do people use MoxMe!?

MoxMe!'s subscribers take part in MoxMe! because it is one single place where they can maintain all of their communications preferences, and have those preferences accessed by outside parties who are authenticated by MoxMe! as valid originators of alerts and notifications.

How does MoxMe! work?

MoxMe! is a web-based application that you can access through your telephone, cellphone, email, instant messaging program, browser, and even your TV. You join groups in MoxMe!, and you can create your own groups. You send messages -- called Alerts in MoxMe! -- to everyone based on their MoxMe! ID. You don't need to know their individual communications preferences -- just send them a message, and MoxMe! looks up their communications preferences based on the alert priority level, and sends the MoxMe! Alert on its way.

What's a MoxMe! Alert?

An alert is defined as any message that is bound for a specific party (or parties in a group). This is also generically called a notification, and MoxMe! does not differentiate between the two. This message can be in any format, including text, audio, video, image, or other form of communication.

What's an Alert Priority Level?

Each message has a priority level assigned to it: Emergency, Urgent, Important, Normal, and Bulk. The sender of the message will choose this priority level, and will interpret their message's importance based on their own relationship with the target recipients.

Won't I get innundated with alerts?

MoxMe! was designed to be able to alert users to only those items they need to be alerted about. Schools often have one master alerting system, not one for each group, and so parents of school children get a lot of messages not intended for them. MoxMe! allows everyone to have their own group, and to take part in their groups as they would like, and not have to get anything not intended for them.

Is MoxMe! safe and secure?

Only registered members can send messages to other members, and MoxMe! tracks all communications and watches for spamming and other safety issues. Minors have to get permission from their parents to join, and have extra protection in the system. Other computer and messaging systems can send messages to MoxMe! subscribers. Any system wishing to send MoxMe! members a message must first be granted a Developer's Key, and then also must create a Developer's profile and ask members to join their network. Only valid applications will be granted a Key. MoxMe! therefore is somewhat protected from spam and other concerns due to this gating. MoxMe! can also protect, to the degree possible using today's technologies, members from malware that is resident in messages by sending all their alerting and notifications through one gateway where they can be filtered for malware.

Can messages be sent to others if I am not around?

MoxMe! allows users to have secondary contacts, such as significant others, grandparents, friends, that might be the recipient of follow-on messages should they not be available. Parents may be out of town and want to redirect communications temporarily, or users may want to have a cascading messaging tree in emergencies. Alarm companies may want to alert to the next contact on list' if primary alternate contact is not around. In general, the ability to provide a cascading tree of communications contacts answers the question, What do you want to do if there is an important message and we cannot get in touch with you.

How do I know you will support my instant messaging or other programs?

MoxMe! is packed with communications capabilities. It can talk to the following systems at a minimum:
  • AIM
  • MSN
  • Yahoo!
  • ICQ
  • Google Talk
  • Jabber

Can MoxMe! interface with my calendar to alert me to events?

Scheduling and calendars are a key element of the MoxMe! interface. Calendars are meant to be shared and alerted upon as a core component of MoxMe!. For any event on a calendar, alert settings can dictate how often and under what priority level notices and alerts are sent out regarding this event.

How much does MoxMe! cost?

MoxMe! is presently in beta and as such carries no cost. It is anticipated at some point in the future a nominal participation fee will be charged, but we're a ways away from that. For now, sit back and enjoy the functionality, and help us build out the system.

Note: While MoxMe! does not charge for its search and alert services, your mobile carrier may charge fees for text or data usage when using SMS/text messaging. If you do not know what sort of plan you are on, call your carrier and ask.

What is allowed in username?

The following are allowed in the username:
1) alphabets (a-z)
2) numbers (0-9)
3) underscores (_)
4) dashes (-)
5) dots (.)
And it should start with an alphabet.
