Hey, that's very nice! Easy monetization opportunity: Signup to be a Groupon (etc) affiliate & include a little string of text with that day's deal for the user's locale along with a shortened link.

Thank you. I'm doing AB testing on a few sms APIs, when I settle on one, I'll leave another comment here.
