Creative Applications for SMS?

Posted by Cliff on Wednesday June 19, 2002 @06:45AM from the pushing-the-envelope dept.

Spinkle asks: "As the volume of global SMS traffic continues to grow at a staggering rate, new and more creative uses for text messaging are found. SMS text messaging is now achieving critical mass worldwide. Sites like Snifferdogalert and Velocity (which, incidentally, cater to drug dealers and speeding motorists, respectively) are an illustration of the increasing popularity of the SMS facility. A culture change is taking place in the way people choose to communicate. Will the visual message become more powerful and popular as voice? What other creative applications for instant messaging are there?"

For those in the US who don't have SMS... by j-turkey · 2002-06-19 08:00 · Score: 3, Informative

upoc.com offers a free service that links together all of the propritary cellular text messaging in the US via a web interface. It also offers stuff like public groups.

Its not necessarily an IM thing, but a text-messaging thing.
