The premise is simple: update a tiny section of your blog via text message. Your friends can also subscribe to your twitter minifeed, which in effect turns their text message readers on their phones into RSS readers. Kind of. Anyway, it’s a pretty nifty little system, and this explains the new little miniblog thing in the upper left, above my Flickr feed. You can also subscribe to my Twitterstream (or whatever you want to call it) via RSS here.
I’m not sure how much I’ll use this, exactly, but we’ll see. With the mobile research I’ve been doing lately, little things like this geek me out. Now get me a Treo with a 6 megapixel camera built into it and I’ll be a happy boy.
