Pingie

Got a “can’t miss” RSS feed that you really need to keep on top of, even when you aren’t at a computer? Try out this new service called Pingie to transform your RSS feeds into text messages. Admittedly, this really should have gone on the new LL2.1 blog, but we have SO MUCH new and interesting stuff already in the pipeline, that I’m not sure this would have been able to fit in this year. Anyway, I can see LOTS of applications for this - but you’ll still have to be careful about what feeds you redirect in this way. 140 characters is not going to get you the full text of any feed - but for “breaking news” feeds, or “library books about to come due” feeds or the like, this might be an excellent resource!
