Let us know when you have it done... we'll use it. I think you should include a referral tracking code and then a simple api call to get those referral records..

i.e. your js library uses an api key. That api key has a private key that you can use to query your back in db so that you can pull the records of which phone number and other referrer trackbacks and generate a unique url for that txt.


Facebook could modify their Send Button widget to let people send links to their own cell phone or email box without entering any information.


I think you'll start to see this more now that Twilio makes it easy to do.


Twilio should come out with a library


Ah yeah, a little js snippet that you can drop into any site would be pretty neat and a nice way for non-devs to integrate the feature.


I guess I have my weekend project. :)
