Google SMS Activism

I have been playing around with Google SMS . It is pretty cool little service and it returns information a bit quicker than surfing on the web via the cell phone. Here is the basics on the service.

Google SMS enable folks to use wireless phones and handheld devices to access Google's Web search via text messages, short message service (SMS). Google SMS offers business and residential listings, product prices, and dictionary lookups.

The service works with Cingular Wireless, Verizon Wireless, and Sprint.

The results are driven off the listings from locations but there could be a cool way to play the sytem into offering volunteer data or activists activities.

Here is how it works today.
1. Send a SMS message to 46645.
2. Add a "what" and zip code [coffee 20910 ]

A few seconds later google sends you an SMS message with local coffee houses. You can also use "price" and "define" in front of terms to search other google indexes.

Ideally, we could get meetup or volunteer data indexed in the search and you would have a powerful social connection tool connected with a mobile phone.

I am putting it in the Google suggestion box.
