Thus, "@weather 14202" -- because maybe if a Twitter username is designated as a service, then any "@(username)" command doesn't show publicly on your profile, rather it is a direct command to that service. [But what if the user does a typo in that username? Then they're command would be public -- and might contain info they don't want to share with the world.] After the initial use of ‘join’, then there needs to be common/easy syntax to use those services that a user “joins”.

Developers can get a keyword on our short code and build the apps you are talking about. We currently charge the developer, but have advertisers interested in sponsoring. Developers can even charge users .50 per message. Developers should check out our api at mobivity.com. Greg Steve,
