Specifically:
We tested POTR with ready.mobi. We saw the different tests it carries out
and notes it shows. It's not necessary to fix all problems, but it helps!
We also saw the different recommendations and best practices about mobile
web development. We referenced W3C's Mobile Web Best Practices, Luca
Passani's Global Authoring Practices, and built a checklist we can use on our
projects.
Following recommendations may not be enough. We started tracking user
data on POTR through our central index.php file.
In the next chapter, we will look at how we can push updates to customers via SMS.
Luigi has been pushing for this feature for quite some time, and we are now ready to
take it up!

Sending Text Messages
SMS-based applications have taken the mobile world by a storm. According to
research, there are two types of mobile users: texters and talkers. It was observed
that the texters send more than double the messages that talkers do. SMS for them is
a non-obtrusive way of communication.
In this chapter, we will learn about sending text messages, and in the process learn
the fundamentals of using third-party services for messaging.
