Txtweb : Imagine internet on SMS

After a long time I am back to blogging. this time I am going to tell you guys about one brand new technology which is free and very exciting.

Yes, it is Txtweb....www.txtweb.com








In early days of internet we had browsers which used to show us only the text information. Then they become more advanced and we got rich user interfaces to browse the internet. Later came mobile phones which made access to internet still more easier. May be as an impact of all this progress in technology has made us addicted to internet.

SMS is part of out life. I dont remember any of my days on which i haven't sent even a single sms after getting my first phone. As a matter of fact in today's world human being is literally dependent on his mobile phone.

So here we have two thing to which people are most addicted[its a fact we are addicted to it]  or we can say these two things are very very essential in our today's life.

Txtweb is a combination of internet and sms. Idea itself is super cool.
Idea is like this- "Access internet without having internet connection in ur phone, if your phone has sms facility (which phone doesnt have it) thats it done you can access the internet free of cost (if your sms are free)"

Txtweb is a product of Intuit.

Though the txtweb is still in beta stage, it has laready got 100's of app developers and 1000's applications.
It has led to a great excitation among web app developers who are showing lot of interesting in developing apps for txtweb. To encourage app developers intuit keeps organizing competitions like app2fame and codewarriors and so on. I am glad to write that this time I was also one among top 7 finalists in the codewarriors competition.

Already a lot of txtweb apps have become very famous and getting good userbase.
For eg: @cricket
            @cityguide
            @smsgps
            @smshow
            @vinbox and so on...
