the main problem i see with this is that making people pay for
incoming sms' *sucks* majorly. they can't control it (except by
incuring a cost).
you're free to ignore this and do it, but what it will result in is a
backlash against twitter itself. people will start to associate a cost
with it's use.
big mistake, imho.
