My idea is to have a user controlled system where you limit the number of Michael Specht Phone: +61 3 9017 1865 | Mobile: 0418 212 041 | Skype: mspecht [mailto:silicon-beach-australia@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of silky On Thu, Aug 14, 2008 at 10:09 PM, Elias Bizannes not at all being missed; of course the system would be opt-in. but you > No one is forcing you to pay to use twitter; but you not at all disagreeing people won't use it. i'm just highlghting what > Ivo's startup is one of any gateways we could use, I just know about his > So Geoff, your analysis is more or less right.

SMS's you get per week, funding out of a PayPal subscription. If you want

need to opt-out if you get too many messages. you don't control who
