People say an image is worth a thousand words… does the same apply to MMS? I personally think so. A long time ago I sent out a belated birthday email to a good friend and his reply was very particular, he said “thanks, but it’s no cake.” The next year, I sent out the celebratory email to this same friend (this one was on time) but I sent a picture of a cake with his name on it. He thought it was funny and memorable, consequently I continued to do the same thing with my other close friends. This year I tried to take it an extra notch up and decided to use the AT&T API Platform SDK for Microsoft® to send out the cake via MMS.
