(gotta pay for all those pills somehow, natch), which does fanciness
with "event-based mobile promotions" has announced that participants
in their events - things like sending picture messages to big screens
at concerts and voting on MVPs at ball games - have sent over a
million messages in under a year. That's a lot of thumb milage.
