We do have a twitter account, honest. We just tend to use twitter for personal reasons instead of spamming adverts about how awesome our product is.
SMS is twitter’s older sibling that has left home for university and is hearing rumors about how well its doing in high school. At the outset, and still in some countries, Twitter inc. has maintained relationships with mobile carriers to deliver tweets to mobile via SMS. Unfortunately this has been disabled in countries other than Canada, India and the USA. It didn’t work out here in Australia. Pity.
Our honest question to you - if we could work out a cost effective way of giving sms broadcasting to your tweets, would you use it?
Applications like slandr and the m.twitter site have meant that SMS isn’t really needed to check up on your tweets. There is still a large number of people using phones with little to no web access - would they like the service back?
How would you like SMS/twitter functionality to work?
What level of service would you need before you considered paying for it?
We’re going to go hunting for statistics and other somewhat boring business numbers but in the meantime, we’d like to hear the verdict from those actually using both SMS and twitter regularly.
