I think you'll start to see this more now that Twilio makes it easy to do.

Twilio should come out with a library

Ah yeah, a little js snippet that you can drop into any site would be pretty neat and a nice way for non-devs to integrate the feature.

Facebook could modify their Send Button widget to let people send links to their own cell phone or email box without entering any information.

Let us know when you have it done... we'll use it. I think you should include a referral tracking code and then a simple api call to get those referral records..

i.e. your js library uses an api key. That api key has a private key that you can use to query your back in db so that you can pull the records of which phone number and other referrer trackbacks and generate a unique url for that txt.
