Kaneohe, HI – Windward Nazarene Academy, a Kaneohe-based private school, is the first school to partner with Talisman, LLB to create an emergency mobile-messaging system. “The school is tentatively dubbing the system TalAlert,” said Kyle Tanouye, the creator of the system.
Principal Kay Hishinuma told Tanouye the school welcomes the ability to instantly communicate weather-related school closings and other pertinent messages for the parents of the school’s 234 students.
Tanouye said that a key Talisman feature, appreciated by the school officials, is that everyone is able to quickly “opt in,” and each person can “opt out” just as easily. “Like in the rest of the country, almost all of the Windward Nazarene parents have and carry cell phones.”
Talisman LLB is providing the location-based text-messaging service at no charge as a benefit for the community.

Honolulu, HI -- A new text-message service, with its intelligent mobile tracking system, unveils today under the company name Talisman, LBS, LLC—a company and concept that is the creation of Hawaii entrepreneur Kyle Tanouye.
Some are calling it the holy grail of text-message systems since it provides a method to contact people on their cell phones based on their location.
“The first application is obviously for civil defense warnings,” says Tanouye, “but the marketing opportunities for what is really the world’s first artificially intelligent, location-based messaging system are what’s creating world-wide interest.”
“A talisman, by definition, is an amulet worn to avert disaster and bring good fortune; it was a natural name for the company and text-messaging service.”
What are some of the applications? Public schools can inform parents about severe weather closings, or a bookstore can provide a 40% off instant coupon for books which are likely to be selected when customers are in the store’s area. It’s the intelligent aspect of the mobile-tracking system allows sending of special offers that users in the area will most likely want, and that’s the mobile platform marketing tool feature that makes Talisman unique.
Government officials can use the new Talisman service to communicate safety messages immediately and effectively to citizens to help avert disaster, and marketers can use the text-messaging system to provide customer-appreciated special location-based offers featuring the products and services customers most often select.
