"Get more" Twitter updates via SMS Sep12 '08

In the same vain as "At Me" App, I've created another SMS contextual application for retrieving information from Twitter.

Many SMS users may know of Twitter's "GET" command, which retrieves the most recent update for any public user. I expanded upon this idea by allowing you to retrieve 15 recent updates in contextual format.

Here's an example result for my username:


1) About to eat lunch.  ...
2) Boo rain go away. ...
3) My company has a sui ...
N) Next
R) Refresh
A) About

Many times I want to "catch up" on what a person has been recently tweeting, and seeing only their last update does me no good.

Here's how it works:

Text getmore [username] to 41411, where [username] is the Twitter username. You should receive a return text message with the three most recent tweets by that person. You can go to the next page to view the next three, and so on.

This should give Twitter users some more flexibility while using SMS.
