Never once used Twitter.

Subject: [phpug] Using Twitter for Free Web to Txt Messages?
I know there has been several people on here asking about how to send
text messages from a website and there were several answers.
Lately I've been playing around with using Twitter and having tweets
sent to my phone. I got to thinking that this might be a way to have
my website send me txt messages for free.
I've found lots of PHP code that sends a message to Twitter, and then
I just need to set up a Twitter account and link it to my phone and
disable other people from following that account. Free txt messages
to me from my website!
Of course this is only any good if you want to send txt messages to
just one phone (or a limited number of phones); it won't allow you to
send a txt message to any phone. But I have several clients that are
currently using other methods to get their websites to send them txt
messages (i.e. urgent requests from their clients, etc).
Has anyone else used Twitter in this manner? The only down-side I can
see if that there's a limit of 150 messages per hour.
