4info.net Enters Mobile Search Space
I've blogged many times about the rapidly growing world of mobile search and info tools. Chris has also written about mobile search in SearchDay.
Today, I've learned about another new company entering the mobile space called 4info.net.
4info.net provides a variety of content that's accessed via SMS (U.S. only) including:
+ Local Info
+ Stock Quotes
+ Sports Scores
+ Flight Info
+ Movie Times
According to their web site, several services are "coming soon" including driving directions and comparison shopping.
To access, send a text message to: 44636 (4INFO on a phone keypad). This page has info and examples about how to format your query. An SMS emulator is also available to try the service without SMS access.
Early Thoughts?
I ran searches for sports scores, movie times, and weather. My results were available quickly and the material was accurate. In other words, 4info.net made a good first impression.
Thanks to BlogHop for the news tip.
