You can now use AutoSMS from Ubiquity with the SMS command. This makes sending messages as simple as typing "sms [message] to [user]" into the Uqibuity command line where "user" is a uniquely identifiable portion of someone's name is your AutoSMS phonebook. If you don't know Ubiquity, go check it out and install it here, then come back and subscribe to the SMS command.

Some of the issues raised over in the comments will require some discussions for full resolution. When issues such as those arise, or is you just wanna say hi, you can follow me on Twitter and we can have the discussion there. http://twitter.com/karlmorris

After a long hiatus, 2 way messaging has been re-enabled. It took some engineering hoop jumping but we've managed to get a system which surpasses it's predecessor in reliability, speed and functionality. New features are in the pipeline which will leverage 2-way messaging so we're pleased to have the platform up and running.

You can now view all messages sent and received to and from your AutoSMS account. Visit the Members page to view and manage your current messages.

Due to a broken forum (yes, I do plan to get to it) and a noticeable amount of comments being posted to my personal blog, I've put together a quick and dirty feedback system for AutoSMS (it's there on your right). Use it to leave comments 100 characters or less. I'll be notified of each comment and will address them there or as a news post if it's important enough.


2008-06-18
AutoSMS messages will now be sent from the new URL textr.us. This is the first step in the development of a distributed messaging architecture and an overall re branding of the project. More details will be posted here as things develop.


2008-06-17
The current AutoSMS API which allows developers to leverage the AutoSMS engine has been fully documented with example code provided.
