Hi Kai,

like Evan says, you have the techno to transfer esily some states, 
through cookie, URI query strings,...

We had this discussion in mandelieu. There are many ways of contributing 
to and getting information from the web.
twitter is one example. another example: ushahidi http://www.ushahidi.com/
this is clearly a web-sms integration, but not having something like 
http like protocol.
Same when you use e.g.  voice application to a voice paltform. This is 
specific you are not requesting a uri by voice, but you are just bound 
to the voice browser.

Cheers
Steph
