Free SMS blasts to update online community?

Hi all, my search has turned up nothing so far.  I want to find an SMS service that can alert people to when we have posted new content on our website, just like an RSS feed, but to a mobile phone.  Preferably free as we're a start-up.  Any leads?  Thanks ~frank

So I found the following website:  textmarks.com

Anybody have any experience with this service?

Hi Frank--

Great question! I haven't tried textmarks, but can point you to a good resource on the subject--MobileActive. If you're not familiar with it already, there's a lot of good "how-tos" and reviews of SMS and other mobile services, in particular, this and this.

Hope this helps get you started! Let us know how it goes.

Best,

Megan

Hi Frank--

I also asked my Twitter network your orginal question and got these suggestions back:

From user @marshallk

aptxt.com

and

pingie.com

are two ones to look into as well.
