Do you send SMS to twitter?

I have developed a solution to post messages to twitter and identica using SMS. This service is provided to Norwegian twitters under the name RyghSMS. The user base isn’t big, but it is slowly growing. But there has been a shift in the use after the iPhone. More and more people use iPhone apps when posting messages to twitter when they are away from their computers.

As twitter is providing a UK number, the only gain by using RyghSMS is a lower cost because it has a domestic number in Norway. It has taken several hours to develop the solution – and as it is provided free of charge – it will never become a “big business”. But the solution can manage a higher level of traffic. So the plan is to move it from “invite-only” to an “open-beta”. The beta will be open to “everybody” early in November.
