Step One: Background reasearch

Ok, so from what I have read and studied up on this is what we will need in order to submit texts at the least. First we are going to need a sim card for a GSM network. It just so happens that I have a bran new one sitting at my house. From there we will need to get that card activated with a GSM network (AT&T, T-Mobile or AllTel) but all we need to have activated on the the card is a phone number assignment and texting options. So there will probably be some sort of hoops that we will need to jump through in order to get that.

There is also a link here where there is an arduino board talking to a twitter page. Maybe that is an option for us... I'm not sure. I am going to keep reading up on all of this. But maybe I misread something and there is a simpler way of doing this. Let me know if you think of something!

Here are some of the links that I found with lots of information about what we need to know and learn from. I highly encourage that all of us study what these say. This is how we are all going to be able to stay on the same page for this project.
