Many of the students I would use this with, like me, have contracts with unlimited (or very many) free text messages included per month. :) Yes I've seen <a href="http://www.jaiku.com" rel="nofollow">Jaiku</a>, and <a href="http://www.pownce.com" rel="nofollow">Pownce</a>. I haven't played around too much with the former, but don't like the latter too much...

Hi Andy,

Yes I’ve seen Jaiku, and Pownce. I haven’t played around too much with the former, but don’t like the latter too much…

How much would it cost a student on a pay-as-you-go service to send messages to Twitter and receive messages from Twitter? I'm guessing it would be regarded as an international number and somewhere in the region of 20p per message. Is this a significant barrier? Have you any thoughts on Jaiku? Similar to Twitter but with additional functionality. Are there cost implications for the students?
