Send gifts via mobile phone

I recently read an excellent article about sending gifts via text messages.
Its a very simple idea that has shown to be very popular and is now a multi-million dollar industry in South Korea.
The main reason for its popularity is that it breaks down social barriers and enables people to show their affection for someone without doing so face to face.
In my opinion this service should be extended for the Valentines period, where the message can be sent anonymously if desired.
SK Telecom’s mobile coupon service, dubbed “Gifti-con”, saw an year-over-year growth of 700% from 2006 to 2007.
