Unsustainable billing arrangements for Twitter

Footing the bill for long-distance SMS

Sooner or later, it was bound to happen. Twitter stops SMS notifications for many users.
It is funny watching all those people from Web/internet backgrounds now in shock and awe. LOL :)
Like it was sustainable practice. Obviously, another prove that the US west coast miscalculated mobile ( telecom matters ).

We should be all reminded how ICQ messenger in the early days of Web ( I was using this feature around year 2000. ) was shutting down SMS feature as well ( for most countries, it is available only in few countries ).

Now when's blood on the street, I wanna buy a stake in Twitter and make another investment round BCDEFG ;))

UPDATE:
Opposite to Twitter, Brightkite thinks they are just ready to add international text messaging as an option ( hahaha )

SMS safe landing

Got fuel ? Got SIM card topped up ?

Still wondering why SMS is such a powerful technology ?
;))
If so, then hear about this texting and landing of a plane ?

Influencing your party jukebox

Save the last SMS dance for me

PartyStrands is interactive music service for bars, clubs and private parties.
Business model is interesting :

PartyStrands’ business model makes it easy for venues to take part. There is no cost for bar or club owners, but they must have a digital music system in order for the music selection to work. Partygoers pay a USD 0.50 or EUR 0.30 surcharge per SMS sent to the partyStrands system. The Ericsson Internet Payment eXchange (IPX) charging system distributes the revenues between myStrands, the venue, an affiliate when relevant, and Ericsson.

Still, it incurs charges. I wonder could such a service be made to support bluetooth.
In that case, you wouldn't have any business model at all for service.
Power to the partygoers, repeal those evil DJ ;))
Spanish Belchica Bar offers beers and SMS dances.

Searching SMS history

Find me an old quote of that woman ( horny, horny )

If messaging ( SMS in particular ) is the killer app, I wanna search function for all my text messages I have EVER sent.
Let's presume ( fiction to-be ) I'll be able to login and search my messaging history just like today I can search all my mail with Gmail.
Am I asking too much ? Oh, and ''print'' function would be neat ;)
This type of intelligence lacks and could be improved.
