The sorry state of UK text service innovation

James posted a comment here about Broadtexter. He noted that they don’t currently provide service in the UK and asked if anyone would like to work on a similar concept with him.

Kudos to James.

He makes a key point. What are we playing at?

What happened to rapid, fun and innovating UK text mobile development? Where are all the new UK services? I reckon on balance I’ve written about more international mobile services than British ones.

We used to lord it over America with phrases like ‘ah yes, they’re about 2-3 years behind us’. No more. If anything, they’re way ahead.

We appear to be stagnating in the UK.

If you know better, send me details of new(ish) UK based mobile services and I’ll get the word out. I’m ewan@smstextnews.com.
