Hey, that's very nice!
Easy monetization opportunity: Signup to be a Groupon (etc) affiliate & include a little string of text with that day's deal for the user's locale along with a shortened link.
Thanks btucker! That is a great idea.
That's a brilliant and simple idea! Can I ask how you send out texts? Do you use a third party API like Mobile Messenger?
Thank you. I'm doing AB testing on a few sms APIs, when I settle on one, I'll leave another comment here.
