			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In Europe at least, <a class='wikipedia' href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter' title='Wikipedia article on Twitter'>Twitter</a> was <a href="http://blog.twitter.com/2008/08/changes-for-some-sms-usersgood-and-bad.html">unable to come to an agreement</a> with mobile phone operators to continue to send incoming Tweets to mobile phones via <a class='wikipedia' href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS' title='Wikipedia article on SMS'>SMS</a>, at <a href="http://nick.piggott.name/blog/2008/08/18/twitter-and-the-realities-of-sms/">least one person</a> thinks that SMS is a deceptively profitable service for the network operators. Surely services that use SMS are going to generate more revenue as people pass funny Tweets onto non-Twitter users.</p>
<p>After all, all of those jokes that zip round like wildfire whenever something happens in the news aren&#8217;t just the creative juices of the masses expressed in a short message, they are <a href="http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/news/index.cfm?newsid=11513">written by the networks</a> to encourage people to send more messages (by passing the jokes on).</p>
<p>All is not lost however, I have been using <a href="http://www.jtwitter.com/">jTwitter</a> for a long time and it does a great job of keeping me up to date on the move. The Twitter API seems good enough to allow anyone too interface with the service without extensive programming knowledge &#8211; I suspect we will see more services that allow access to Twitter from a mobile phone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Upgraded the site to WordPress 2.6, also switched the style to use widgets so everything down the left hand side is now a widget rather than some hand coded SQL stuff, that worked but could have been much better, now it is!</p>
<p>As you can probably see I am experementing with Twitter I don&#8217;t know if I am going to get along with it, but I do like the idea of blogging with less than 140 characters.</p>
<p>As always if anyone spots anything that is not as it should be do let me know and I will fix it, well try to, or perhaps phone a friend.</p>
