Looks like there’ll be no more Twitter mobile updates on the UK number. According to the email this morning the cost of sending Twitter updates to our mobiles has become prohibitive.
I’m not sure if there’s a bad guy in this, or if this just shows how social networking doesn’t have the power to sweep traditional business aside after all. That Twitter didn’t come up with a premium service to address this earlier probably means they’re hoping that user outcry will force some sort of reinstatement, a full or partial climbdown on the part of the operators.
We’ll see, but we’ll probably have to log on to see.
