Hi, Just to let you know, I developed www.twe2.com exactly for this purpose. However, we have just been blocked by our SMS provider. It is a shame really because we sent 2 million SMS's to the Twitter community, Paul 2009/5/11 Arik Fraimovich <arik...@gmail.com> Someone already developed an application that forwards mentions to DM (see here: http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Application-Ideas). When I tried it, it didn't work that good, but I think he did some changes since then.
