Pretty straight forward request. The ability to text commands to BYOND such as a new blog post or comment, or to yea or nay a post. It could also alert you to your friend's new blogs as well as let you to comment and respond to comments. Not really needed or even necessary, but its nice for those who are always out and about and don't always have time to check up on their favorite blogs(as well as those who can't afford internet for their phone.) This would help to bring the social aspect of the site up to speed with other sites such as facebook. Not sure how much work it would take to do something like this, but its just some food for thought.
I believe having a service that receives incoming text messages costs money. If ever implemented it would have to be a member perk, or even a paid service in itself.

forgive my ignorance, but free social networking sites like facebook and myspace offer this free of charge. granted they have ads, but so do we.

Free social networking sites also bring in far, far more money than BYOND does.
In response to Nadrew
and they also support many more users, thats why. the profit is scaled to the customer base.

Definitely a member perk at the very least.

But IIRC, the cost/1000 messages isn't very high compared to standard mobile phone usage. If such an idea is seriously thought about this website might be of some use. (I couldn't see a price on it, but that's at a cursory glance.)

Byond Mobile probably wouldn't be too hard, as it would just be another layout minus the games, of course this is talking about a mobile version of the webpage,
A text service would probably be a members perk, or seperate service, as previously mentioned
In response to Nadrew
Most mobile phones can send SMS to e-mail addresses, so the service can use that perhaps (not that I support the idea, I think it's pretty pointless, but if staff decide to implement it they can go that route).
