Twitter via SMS

When I first joined Twitter I thought about how many txt messages were included in my cell phone plan. Because we were cheap, over 30, and usually not out of one another's sight, my wife and I had the minimal no text plan. But even then I wanted to rock the twttr, as it was then known, via txt. I mean, heck, who needs vowels?

Well, by the time Twitter had Vanna add the vowels and my wife and I had come upon the iPhone, I was txt crazy. But I was enraptured with iPhone twitter apps and let my love of the simple life of txt fall by the wayside.

Now, I want that life back. I'm discouraged that the twitter apps of today, while very nice and useful, aren't blowing my mind. So I'm going to adopt these for the time being:
