Abstract
An instant text message conductor is provided. A server device receives an instant text message from a user entity. The instant text message is addressed to a conductor entity. It is determined that a previous instant text message from the user entity was sent to a first potential responder entity. The instant text message is sent to the first potential responder entity. The server device determines that no response to the instant text message will be received from the first potential responder entity within a first period of time. A second potential responder entity is selected from a predetermined set of potential responder entities. The previous instant text message, a first response instant text message sent by the first potential responder entity in response to the previous instant text message, and the current instant text message are sent to the second potential responder entity.
