    Best regards,

    Hi,

    I thought you might be interested to know that myself (@PaulKinlan) and (@prawlings) have launched a twitter service called Twe2 (http://www.twe2.com) that gives Twitter users their DM's, @replies and custom searches via SMS for free (to nearly every country in the world). The free part is that the messages are advertising subsidised.

    Regards,
    Paul
