Oh great, a new telemarketing spam solution masquerading as a "customer service tool"

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--If you ever need to get in touch with several--or several thousand--people at once, Send Word Now has the software for you.

The New York City-based start-up is promoting a communication application at PC Forum that lets a user type a message on a PC that then transforms into a phone call to a few people, or a few thousand. (PC Forum is owned by CNET Networks, owner of News.com.)

Though the urgent message currently needs to be typed into a PC (or broadcast from a company's server farm), on April 7, Send Word Now will announce that customers can broadcast messages with a Palm handheld.

Can someone make this insanity stop?
