To find friends using Textie:
Settings -> Social Networking -> Check My Address Book

I do think the app is great for messaging — it's just tough for me to use, since I'm outside the US. It's also just much simpler to use an iPhone-based messenger like Ping, use e-mail, or some sort of IM service.

I think Textie is an appealing, but really strange mix of services — but that's probably because it's still so new.

Textie has become one of my favorite iPhone apps. When you get it, you want to find the other people you SMS with a lot (for me it's my wife and a core group of guy friends) and if you get the group on Textie then you get all the advantages of SMS without having to pay AT&T so much money every month.

I see the SMS/email gateway feature as a fail-safe if you should text someone who isn't on Textie yet, not as a day-to-day thing.

Extra perk: Textie runs on my iPad.

Bottom line: If you're married and text your spouse a lot, then this app is great even if just for that.
