Japanese Squid Pizza and US Text Messages

The Japanese use cellphone text messages (SMS) for many clever services. Then again, the Japanese also enjoy pizza with squid topping. MOPocket points out that, just like squid pizza, Japanese-style services won't necessarily be a big hit in the United States. MOPocket discusses how SMS can be used as a technology component to build more complex services; I don't agree with his conclusions about what services will eventually make SMS messages more mainstream — MarketingShift probably has a better handle on what will really be popular.
