Text message content, more than just an ad

The Wall Street Journal did a nice little write-up on text message advertising and 4INFO yesterday. It's been interesting watching the commentary on the piece and on mobile advertising in general. It seems to me that the number one criticism of the concept is that "people don't want advertising on their phones."  Well, yeah!  Does anybody really want advertising, ever?

Yes, I know the business school basics - people want advertising when it's relevant or when they're seeking information. But most of the time, I think most of us would prefer an ad-free world. But that's the beauty of 4INFO.  You aren't signing up to get ads on your cell phone, bugging you to go buy this or that.  People are signing up to get information that they ACTUALLY want (like the score of the Giants game, right as it ends!), delivered automatically by text message, for free. If that comes with line of advertising, so be it.  Everbody understands that you don't get something for nothing. The services that 4INFO provides are valued by our users, and that's what gives advertisers the opportunity to reach those users with relevant sponsorships, promotions and offers. (You know I'd get back to that business school stuff eventually.) In the end it's a win-win.

Since I used the word "free", I'd better remind everyone that "standard text messaging charges may apply." In other words, your carrier might charge you to get text messages, even though 4INFO doesn't charge you for the service.  So watch out for that.

Happy texting!

Yikes, sorry!

You know, I love my celebrity gossip as much as anyone, but I only need to hear about each headline once.  As some of you may have noticed, we are having a technical issue with the celebrity gossip service, which resulted in some people getting the same message more than once.  So, this is a big apology for that, and we are working to fix the problem.

Celebrity Gossip ALERT!

Can I ask everyone to remove your hats, lower your eyes, and take a moment to reflect upon the momentous milestone achieved by 4INFO only moments ago?

Yes, at approximately 2:07pm Pacific Time, 4INFO delivered the 1,000,000th celebrity gossip text message alert of 2008.  The celebrity featured in message number one-million?  Madonna - having newly been named the "richest woman in music" with a tidy income of $72 million last year.

4INFO only introduced this service last year, but it has taken text addicts and celebrity fans by storm.  In a world where interesting celebrity gossip changes more frequently than Oprah's hairstyle, you need the right tools to keep in touch.  Step aside Perez Hilton, watch out D-Listed - when you're on the go, only 4INFO can keep you up on the latest and greatest in celebrity news.

We at 4INFO would like to take this opportunity to thank all the fans out there, and also Ms. Britney Spears for helping make this milestone happen.

Like 4INFO? Tell a friend and get some cash!

Where has time gone?  One minute we're a quiet little company, chugging away in the depths of the mobile search industry, the next minute we're a mobile juggernaut poised to take over the world!

Or something like that.

But we do have a pretty cool service, if I do say so myself.  If you think so too, then here is your chance to tell your friends about it and get a little reward for it too. Here's how:

Basically, if you tell friends about 4INFO, you get a $5 certificate to Amazon.com for each one that signs up for an alert. The only catch is that they can't have used 4INFO before. They have to be brand new to us.  There is no limit on how many $5's you can get, and our text message alert services are free, so your friends can't complain that you're trying to sell them stuff.

We even have a special referral program just for fantasy sports commissioners and players, so you can refer a whole league. Fantasy sports types can sign up to get scores from their favorite teams or specific player stats sent via text message.

So, without further ado, here are the links!  Be safe out there...

Barry Bonds is a Home Run with 4INFO Users

You can love him or hate him, but you can't deny that people are interested in Barry and his quest to break the home run record.  Judging by the skyrocketing number of queries we're getting about the famous and controversial slugger, he is a hit (to say the least) with 4INFO users. Last night’s record breaking home run coincided with a record breaking number of queries on a single player — nearly 500 users asking for Bonds stats within a few hours. With this extreme demand for real-time information, and the excitement surrounding Bonds, 4INFO users can't go wrong with our alerts for the most up-to-the minute information. We'd like to think that with our free major league baseball player alerts, 4INFO hit one out of the park.

Stay tuned, sports fans...  free NFL player alerts are coming soon too!

Multiple Message Mistake

We messed up.

Here's the problem:  Some of you received more than one text message with the same alert information.  Some of you received many duplicates. This was due to a configuration error on our end, and I am deeply sorry that we let this happen.  We are fixing the problem and doing all we can to ensure that this won’t happen again.  It is very important to us that 4INFO be a trusted source of text message alerts, and we pledge to avoid sending you any messages that you don't want.

We’re still working out what happened and who was affected, but if you have concerns, please write to us at support@4info.net and we will do our best to help resolve things.

Zaw on Premium Billing

CEO of 4INFO, Zaw Thet, posted some interesting thoughts on an article published by TechCrunch about a new product from TextMarks that allows publishers to charge readers to receive breaking news, newly published content and other information via text message.

In short, he cites three reasons the premium billing model for text messages is flawed:
1)  Consumers haven't been willing to pay for content on a cell phone (outside of ringtones and games).
2)  Carrier fees take too large a percentage of the premium plan to make this a viable business model.
3)  The free ad-supported model has been proven online, and is now being proven in text messaging and WAP (browser) ads.

Read all about it at Zaw's blog. 

This seems like a good time to remind readers that 4INFO launched our Open Platform last September, allowing bloggers and other web content providers to create their own text message alerts for free.  Just visit http://open.4info.net/ to give it a try.

4INFO Remembers You!

One of 4INFO's great attributes is its personalization feature. When you send a search query to 44636, the information is stored in a personal profile. What is the benefit of this? It makes searching for information easier and more convenient for you. For example, when you search for weather information for your area you would typically text "w" and your zip to 44636. However, once your information is stored, you can rely on the personal profile to know your location. Simply text "w" without a zip code and still get your local weather information. Another way that 4INFO simplifies the search process is by allowing you to set shortcuts for the information you search for most frequently. Once you have registered your phone on the 4INFO website, you can set short cuts for your favorite searches. Set "s1" for a certain stock quote or "t1" to get the most recent scores for your favorite team. Click here to register your phone now.
