The rise of SMS based apps is very real.

This one looks cool though. Would love to try it when/if it rolls out to Los Angeles.

Well, only to the point where it can answer your queries. Myra aims to be actually useful ;)

But jokes apart - I think that using apps on the phone is like using bookmarks in 1999. Why do we have single purpose "links" that allow you to a few things, that you need to remember? What is indexing all of these services, and allowing you to get them on demand, just by expressing intent? Almost a search engine - but one that actually gets things done, rather than just displaying information.
