i have a new metaphorical hammer. what are some metaphorical nails?

[rmd]

For a variety of reasons that boil down to a combination of convenience and economy and having a multi-line cellphone plan, i've ended up with a cellphone plan that includes way more text messages available than i would ordinarily use in a month. i know fedex/ups will optionally update you on a package's progress via SMS. What other potentially useful SMS functionality is out there?

Pretty sure there's text-to-LJ so the reverse makes sense (I don't use it myself)

You can set twitter up so you can text tweets to 40404 (and replies/retweets etc. get texted back to you)

Similarly if you give up your # to Facebook (I *think* you can do it in such a way that it doesn't get revealed to people) you can text status updates to 32665 (FBOOK) and other people's comments get texted back to you. You also used to be able to have FB text you when people sent you a message, posted to your wall, tagged you, pretty much did anything. Idunno if any of that's changed with the recent email I got about how they're consolidating email notifications.
