The featured listing page is simple and looks good on most phones I've seen - try it by texting PROP1109 to 88000. I think listings that have more street traffic will do better with this technology right now. It hasn't seem to hit the mainstream yet, at least in my market. BTW - I absolutely LOVE the movie Office Space. Of course I worked at TGI Friday's for 8 years so how could I not? I recently started using http://www.drivebuytext.com for my listings.
