It’s been a while since Twitter discontinued SMS-notification for most users outside the US. there have been plenty of replacements, all of which shared the downside of coming at an additional cost per SMS/Tweet. enter Twe2, which was launched a few weeks ago and is the first 100% free, ad-supported SMS-notification-service I’ve come around. Twe2 [...]
if you think Twitter is all about personal micro-blogging and basically a waste of time, think again. with their recent API-extension, it’s now possible to integrate Twitter as a cost-free SMS gateway into your own applications (like the guys at Tupalo have already done).
of course there are loads of SMS-based monitoring services out there, but [...]
Texteln.de = german Twitter-clone with a reduced feature set and small community.
in case you haven’t been aware how easy it is to fake the originating number (‘from’) of an SMS message, ONLamp features a step-by-step guide on spoofing Twitter (and similar services involving authentication mechanisms solely based on the senders phone number). this basically means that attackers only need to know a users associated cellphone number [...]
Jaiku = Twitter + a little bit of geo-information + iconography + mobile client (currently S60, Nokia only).

Steve Rubel (yes, Edelman, that is) asks the same question I did (implicitly) few days ago: how is Twitter going to cope with that SMS-bills? I really have no idea, but Rubel claims that “In the good ol’ United States of America, the receiver pays the SMS bill”. the comments on that post seem to [...]
Dave Winer is routing news-feeds of Wired and the New York Times through Twitter. I wonder how Twitter is going to pay their communications-bills, once every website pushes latest news to their community through the service (maybe that’s another weekend-extension for PLAY.FM…regarding the API, this should be fairly easy).
oh, I tried out 5 [...]
so, after all the buzz during past weeks, I finally signed-up for a Twitter-account (in case you’re of the hype-resistant type, Twitter is basically free, public group-SMS + Web 2.0-features, a mixture between blog & IM). turns out it is one of few SMS-based services from the United States that actually works on European (or [...]
