I am now tacking the received time by my server to the update sent to Twitter so people can have a frame of reference of when the update was actually made.  This will help account for any network (net or mobile) delays and for the iPhone which does not let you get a time stamp for each SMS, but only what it considers a conversation.  It will look like (emphasis added):

Caltrain 365 very slow/10 min late before milbrae T17:05

In other news it looks like I may be able to easly configure things so that you can send a direct message to either of the Twitter accounts and have them be used as the update.  This means you will be able to SMS ‘d account update‘ to the Twitter SMS short code 40404.  This ability is currently being used by a small group of people to help me iron out any bugs.

I’ll update as things roll out.
