I can’t tell you how long I’ve been looking for a means to do this, but it seems that I might have finally found a way to enable you – the reader – to keep up with MMM without using an RSS reader.

Check out this beta service called Pingie. Pingie is basically a service that turns RSS feeds into SMS messages (read more). No app needed, and definitely painless to setup. You simply create a profile and then that’s it. The service also supports plenty of mobile web and SMS-based commands to get some better use/admin out of the service.

Currently, Pingie supports US carriers only (possibly Canada, the website wasn’t clear on this). I’d recommend Google Lab’s SMS Channels for those in India and supported countries as an alternative to Pingie. For either, you’d need to have an account, so do be sure to read all of the terms of service, and make sure that your SMS plan fits this kind of use

For more information about Pingie, check out their website. Here’s the direct link to add MMM to Pingie or you can add your mobile number in below to get the SMS updates.

By the way, if you know of other RSS to SMS services, do list those in the comments below. We’d be happy to post about them, or just create a massive connect page for these items 🙂
