	Why it might be a killer

This site has some innovative features that other SMS portals don"t offer. Unlike the SMS portals of the major mobile providers, you can receive replies to your messages in a number of ways. I also don"t need to know if the person I"m texting has Verizon or Cingular which is nice to be able to text everyone from one site.

	Some questions

Does this website work globally? It would be nice to have this when traveling abroad so you don"t have to expend $.25 or $.50 every time you send a text message. How will this make money?
