		<description><![CDATA[ In a rather insightful new Whitepaper published by Global Intelligence Alliance (GIA), the debate over Web apps as opposed to native mobile apps is highlighted in detail, covering several key points for each concept. Dubbed &#8220;Native or Web App,&#8221; the new Whitepaper includes a study conducted by GIA amongst developers, publishers, service providers and design agencies that collectively serve millions of consumers over mobile media. Among other conclusions, the study projects that web apps will become more viable as a mobile distribution platform, and will soon lead to a proliferation of  content distribution beyond typically tightly controlled App Store environments]]></description>

Twitter had already been working with the startup for the past eight months to try and help manage the billions of text messages it sends worldwide, and has finally decided it was a perfect fit for the future of Twitter&#8217;s SMS capabilities]]></description>
