I found your post after running a Google search for "twitter text message." The people I know who use Twitter all have iPhones or other such smartphones and all use their exorbitant data plans. I don't have enough money in my budget to sign up for a data plan, so I always just assumed that Twitter would not be an option for me at least until I got some more funds. Anyway, thanks again. Your post was concise and informational. Looks like you've got a good site here. Hey, thanks for this.

There is huge untapped potential in what mobile phones especially can offer in the way people organise and empower themselves. The same can be said for this potential in the developing world as a tool for poverty alleviation and democracy building. Good to see more and more commentators discussing these issues in public forums. Thanks Amy.
