Joinable Gives The Homeless A Foot In The Door With Free Voicemail, E-mail, and Texting

We're midway through the TechCrunch Disrupt Hackathon (which, by the way, you should be watching live here), and the range of stuff that the hackers have managed to throw together in a mere 24 hours is astounding. Some are trying to find their big payday ? others are going for the cool factor or a quick laugh. Some, however, spent their weekend trying to change the world for the better. It's the job hunter's biggest conundrum: the more you need a job, the harder it is to get a job. Lose your job, and you'll run low on cash. Run low on cash, and you can't pay for your cell phone ? but once you've ditched your cell phone, it's a whole lot harder for potential employers to get in touch. Hackathon group Joinable is trying to solve this problem by providing non-profit organizations with manageable voicemail boxes which they can give out to their patrons/beneficiaries for free.
