What a great idea.
Will MySpace users adopt this widget? While I think this is a great way to get your platform in the hands of millions of users, I wonder if there is a way to "age proof" this, so parents won't get a huge phone bill from the number of text messages.
4INFO lets MySpace users, website owner, or blog owner create a widget that will allow people to send text messages.
Receive texts from people without giving them your cell phone number. Your number remains totally anonymous, even when you reply!
While I use 4INFO's services quite a bit, I have to advise readers that 4INFO has had a history of posting some of what they consider "funny SMS queries".
I warned them a while back that if you want to get trust of consumers, you can't let them think their text message queries are being monitored by individuals and would be published.
I know they don't post the user's name with the query, but the idea that individuals, versus a computer, are monitoring is enough to turn people away from the service.
