Yahoo SMS Search Launches Tomorrow

Of course, you can try out the Yahoo! SMS search product now (just text 92466!) Also enjoy my piece on the coming mobile search wars. I think Yahoo is going to kick some serious ass in wireless. Mobile Tracker adds Yahoo SMS search is available for Cingular, Sprint and Verizon Wireless customers.

Hi Om, just saw this snippet on Y! search via SMS and just tried it. What command did you send to 92466 ? I sent a weather query and got : Invalid command. Yahoo! commands are:
Sign In: in ID Password
Sign Out: out
Send Mesg: to ID Mesg
View Friends: get
Add Friend: add ID
Delete Friend: del ID

Thanks !

Now it’s done. Is really good the ideea of SMS-based mobile search service. It has something more than Google’s SMS service. We should try and see and make the difference.
