Send only @replies to your phone (my new side project) (replies2phone.com)

I've had this for a while, developed by someone else. It's quite handy as I don't want to be opening my Twitter client all the time to check when I have an @reply. It's especially useful when I don't have any data connection and I can still carry out Twitter conversations via SMS


Why not just configure your phone's Twitter client to notify you only when you get replies or mentions?


That only applies to smart phones, and not every client supports offline notifications... right?


What service are you using to actually send out the SMS?


right now, it just uses twitter. the @reply becomes a DM, so you have to have DMs going to your phone.


Makes sense, and cheaper for you. Are you hitting a limit as to the number of API requests you can post? I had someone try it out and I didn't receive a DM, but maybe it was because they put a period after my name.


Not that I know of, are your DMs going to your phone: http://twitter.com/devices


rep2p, haha
