SMSku
Free SMS's if you write as a Haiku | |
As you wrote your txt, you would prefix it with 'SMSku' so the mobile phone Company knew you were attempting a Haiku, which would be checked by a computer and sent for free if you had the correct number of syllables.
This would have the dual benefits that the provider could generate a lot of advertising,
and the nearly illiterate txt users would have an incentive to think more about their words and SMS constructions.
You could have competitions for the best messages and 'SMS readings' and it might even find the next poet laureate...

But handy for when you want him to pick up milk on the way back home. |

Anyone got any reasons why it couldn't work though?
Or any examples of automatic haiku validation.. |
