I just need Salon to give me Rosario's number and I'll be ready to go.
... the Republican echo chamber starts hinting darkly that this will lead to phone-in election fraud?
Innovation is only good, you see, if it cements the Republican majority. Otherwise it's "nefarious".
Actually it's the "voto latino" part that will give them a rash. It sounds so...foriegn. Call it "Patriot Registration" and they won't notice.
you really have to wonder what kind of profit American Idol gets from Cingular Wireless on each of those millions and millions of text messages.
Ditto 'Deal or No Deal'.
Bet it's juicy as all get out.
Reading this from Northerh Europe, where SMS has always pretty much 'just worked' from the time GSM phones were introduced, the headline ( hdln :P ) and for that matter the content is very much a blast from the past.
Over here, everybody uses text messages, personal or business, with the cost of each message in the couple of cents range. For example, the local Amnesty International chapter sends me an SMS whenever there's a petition they want me to sign, and of course the signature is by entering "appell My Name" (petition My Name) in my SMS answer. The signature message costs me a Euro and change, but hey, most of that goes to Amnesty!
