Library Crunch had an interesting post last week about TeleFlip.com a new service the allows you to easily text message anyone on their cell phone/PDA by addressing the email message to their (phone number)@teleflip.com Example: 7045551234@teleflip.com I tried it myself after emailing my own cell # - Cool!
Anyway, I second all of Michael's same thoughts about the use of text messaging with library notices. Ultimately we need our ILS software to jump on board (and I understand it is part of the next realase of Horizon), however later just never seems soon enough. :)
Got a cell phone with text messaging? Try it :)

I found an even cooler site called http://www.enotifyme.com it allows me to convert my email to voice (email to phone) and listen to it on any landline or mobile phone and I can reply by voice back to the originating sender :) They also allow 'cascading' so I can selectively have emails reach me at home, then on my cell as a text message, then at the office and so on - kind of the ICQ version of what teleflip's 1 trick pony approach is about.
