Before 2008 I used to Tweet by sending an sms to a special phone number. When twitter removed the service, their bloated website cost a lot for a tweet. So I made a Wap service using their api and now tweeting cost me a fraction of what the sms cost me. I built it in a few hours, it was very fun to chop every last byte of html exploiting the flexibility of the browsers (who knew you did not need to close html tags?). That service was used by a few friends on feature phones till 2010. I discovered it when a friend complained that the service did not work anymore. I had completely forgot about it.
