SMS could and should be expanded to include more social primitives within the protocol. Lately, I find myself using group chats in SMS more than any social network. Facebook and Twitter have a dis-incentive to do this, but Apple and Microsoft both make phone operating systems and don't have large social networks to compete with an open protocol. It is really annoying whenever I run up against walls like 'You can only have 10 users in 1 group chat ... unless they're all Apple' situations. The protocol should be device/os agnostic akin to http => browser. But I'm not seeing a lot of movement in the SMS protocol as late, just more messaging apps.
