Just signed up with IMified - they let you interact with a bunch of online services over instant messenger. While I don’t use most of the systems enough to bother, one thing I do need is a simple bare bones to do list system, and I don’t want to have to remember another URL and login.
As luck would have it, IMified has a basic set of organizational tools built in. including to do list management. The interface is basically a set of menus, and you drill into them with successive messages back and forth.
But enough about IMified - it’s just that it happens to be a perfect example of how a multiple message SMS (mobile phone text message, natch) session would work. The next time I have to put one of those together, I’m making a bot to prototype it and hopefully leave in the wild once things go live (except for premium rate (pay) SMS I guess). It’s a great way to get the message (sorry) across to clients without having to explain how to send a text in the first place, though granted, you’d probably have to do it in front of them, as I imagine the number of chatters at that level are about the same as the number of (non-BlackBerry) texters…
