#22How about supporting multiple queries from a single SMS, given that most users are probably capped on number of outgoing messages, but not incoming.

#23If you're in India, Intuit has an app ecosystem built around this idea: http://txtweb.com/
Very interesting, this can be great for people who don't have data plan but can still get useful information by sms. Where does it say it's by Intuit, I don't see Intuit mentioned anywhere?
It is http://www.nextbigwhat.com/intuit-launches-txtweb-sms-platfo...
PS: I wrote an app on the ecosystem to manage your email http://suhastech.com/mail

That's a great feature we haven't considered implementing yet, we will focus on it asap. Thanks!

#25This is similar to the service offered by http://55444.in in India.

#26This reminds me of Google Talk Guru, the Google bot that lets you ask simple questions. It was an experimental service a few years ago. I'm not sure if it's still accepting invitations, but it still works for me in Google Talk or Gmail Chat: You can try to "friend" the bot by adding guru@googlelabs.com to your contact list. I sometimes still use it for a quick reference.

#27Earlier quoted context omitted.
Thanks! Just fixed.
Careful. All you've done is revise it. I could post a link or two that easily reveals it in your git repository revision history (6sus.. and 794e..). Instead, I'll post this link: https://help.github.com/articles/remove-sensitive-data
(useful link, but it's probably easier just to expire it on CrunchBase and generate a new one, if they didn't already do that)

It is and will be scaled. Half the world still does not have 3g access through smartphones.
