After writing a Romanian post about bloguri.md, the first (?) Moldovan platform for hosting blogs, I have the opportunity a new project brought out by Simpals - a totally great initiative SMS Market.

Potential ad-senders - SMS Market collaborates with the first GSM operator in Moldova – Voxtel – only. There are circa 700000 Voxtel cell-phone users. Not a bad market for a news paper.
