Update your social network statuses via SMS_To_LJ...
I love those TV adverts for Apple's iPhone that start "If you love facebook so much..." because I always end up shouting "WELL WHY DON'T YOU MARRY IT THEN?!" at the TV (link)... but really, loads of people use Facebook now!... or how about Jaiku? or Twitter? every single one of those has a status that can be updated.
There are a couple of services that allow you to update your statuses on all of those sites in one go.
I've integrated one of those services (Ping.FM, as it's the only one I know of that also supports LJ) into the SMS To LJ Gateway. It's only a quick hack until Ping.FM get their own SMS service up and running (I'm assuming they are working on one).
1. Signup to ping.fm (use the invite code "pingbeta").
2. Setup all your services with Ping.FM
3. Send a text message to +44 7890 716 820 in the following format:
P USERID MESSAGE
Where USERID is the bit before the @ on the posting address that ping.fm gives you for e-mail (USERID@ping.fm).
Example:
P thi9Fova This is a test :)
This hack uses exactly the same gubbins as sms_to_lj and, is not associated with LiveJournal or Ping.FM.
