I submit this as a follow on to post from 11/27. Real world example of:
1. Simplicity of SMS
2. Expanding the uses through efficient or innovative back end
3. Delivering value through texting in new ways
detailed by BusinessWeek in an article about AQA (any question answered). Impressive usage and growth numbers for this firm 16,000 queries daily at 1 GBP a pop. Revenues of $814,000 in 2005 and $5.7 Million in 2006. Moconews also covering this with an emphasis on the ease of use outweighing their service being "not particularly novel".
TechCrunch also posted about LimeWire, a company providing "event" or "place" social networking via Text Message. The common theme among these posts is ease of use and building on the inputs of SMS to make a valuable service. SMS is not by any means a mature technology in terms of growth and value.
