Propose the following with relation to this:
Users are assigned an @alias and a @4 (userid). Either one can be used for messaging.
To send a message to a user or group simply include @alias or @id name in the message.
When receiving messages we put the alias at the start of the message. For example:
@joe how are you
bob> how are you

Aliases IMO will do great but what's the case for using userids (which are numeric)? Looks to me like a Twitter clone without the web interface :)
@soloz and I worked on a notification app called notifier that enabled apps to send out notifications. You can take a look at it on my fork http://github.com/takinbo/rapidsms

Tim,
Point is if you are a heavy user it may be easier to send an sms to @55 then @takinbo. It is an extra feature that doesn't hurt if people don't use it.
Re: twitter clone. That's the whole point. Enable people with regular phones to communicate the way we do on the web.

Isn't this handled by socialsms?

smsforum and messaging do enough of this
if someone wants to reimplement twitter, that is a community-app project
