Take Your Site to SMS

ScreenshotIf you’re running a web site that includes small chunks of information - addresses, say, or reviews - a new service named BeamMe.Info wants to help you get those chunks over to your readers’ mobile phones. The idea is pretty simple: include a tiny bit of javascript that creates a “Send to mobile” button; when readers click the button, they can type in their mobile number and Beam Me’s servers do the rest.

The company offers two pricing models: pay-as-you-go (on a per-message basis) or advertiser-supported. There’s also a RESTful API for developers who want to tie their own creations into this service. While it won’t fit in everywhere, it offers one more easy integration path for those in the information business.
