Email to SMS gateways:http://www.funsms.net/email2sms.htmhttp://leedumond.com/blog/sending-sms-text-messages-from-your-application-free/send SMS to mobile users via email. For free. And probably could be useful for some notification applications like Twitter 411

Our mashup Annotated links has been updated. Lets you pack any link (group of links) and your own text comment (in post-it style) into one short URL. The final pack could be shared via email and twitter. So you can threat it as yet another way for link sharing in Twitter for example – your comment could be much more than 140 chars.Provides HTTP API and own bookmarklet too. See the previous

We wrote already about our Twitter mashup – Twitter 411 service. It is a web application lets you easily create your own Twitter bots. Bot here is an application that receives some requests via Twitter and responds with your own data. You define a form for the request as well as the content for the response. Here is an example for such a bot (stock market). As a response for the bot within t411

Our mashup QR code maker has been updated. It is getting closer and closer to the state he was originally assigned to. From the day one we saw it as the tool for the content mobilizing. Mashup QR-code maker is an easiest way (as we wrote already – well, yet another attempt to present an easiest way) for the mobilizing of user-defined content. Here are two tasks at least. At the first hand we need

"But how do you trace, track and debug client-side code interactively? The use of alerts has been useful but does not support an interactive way for you to interact with the web-page on the fly. To make matters worse, even if you place some traces into your js code to help find the slow functions, etc, network latency may be another cause of slow response. Or maybe the order your files are loaded

By the way, Firefox 3.5 allows you to make XMLHttpRequests cross domain (in other words code loaded from some domain foo.com can make XHR requests to domain bar.com). Mozilla's spec suggests a special HTTP header for that:Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * with this header your server informs client that cross domain request is Ok from any domain. Instead of * you can use there a name of domain

Web component describes a different kind of captcha system - one that asks the user questions in plain text. The trick is to use mathematics questions with a variety of forms and varying numbers, so that it should be difficult to write a bot to parse them. See it here: Math question taglib.
