Cloudhopper provides mobile messaging technology and expertise to businesses in the wireless space. Currently, Cloudhopper powers some of the largest and most successful mobile messaging (SMS and MMS) campaigns in North America, Europe, and Africa.
Based on its patent pending intellectual property, Cloudhopper supplies the underlying software
and infrastructure to reliably scale and geographically disperse some of the world's highest volume messaging programs -- all with zero downtime.
CloudHopper was acquired by Twitter in April 2010. This will help Twitter in making some profits, as twitter still dint introduce advertisements. Twitter mainly is funded by MSN, Google and Yahoo. It may try to utilise Cloudhopper's technology to the fullest extent, to make it's SMS services more powerfull and advanced.
