TextMarks
Thank heavens. TextMarks is the developer service I have been looking for. I am so glad someone made this. I figured it was only a matter of time.I've recently decided that it's too bad SMS short codes are so prohibitively expensive for small-time developers to SMS-enable their (potentially infrequently used) applications. TextMarks solves this by essentially multiplexing SMS services over one short code, requiring users of each service to prefix their messages with a "textmark" service identifier, thereby cutting costs for everyone. TextMarks pays for the one short code and covers the service fees, allowing small-time developers to use SMS as an application interface. Hooray!
