Welcome to Pingie! Now what is it?

Introducing Pingie, an instant RSS to SMS notification utility. This ABSOLUTELY FREE service has been simmering in the Experiment23 labs for some time now and is created to allow information junkies to stay consistently in the loop via SMS or email notifications. Stuck in a cube all day with restricted internet? Pingie can help bring your favorite site updates directly yo your mobile phone. Addicted to Woot? You can get notifications on the latest Woot item. How about SlickDeals? You can be alerted the second the latest deal is posted. Want the latest developments from CES or Macworld? You can get those too! The possibilities are endless! All you need is a mobile phone and an RSS feed of the website you want alerts for. Pingie is absolutely free for you to subscribe to and to use, however your cellular carrier may charge you fees to receive text messages. Before signing up to Pingie, we recommend subscribing to an unlimited text messaging plan. Also we currently only fully support only US carriers - with limited support with Sprint and Nextel (We have been working hard for weeks with Sprint/Nextel engineers to resolve this issue). What about users privacy? We went to GREAT lengths to protect users data, all information given to Pingie will NEVER EVER be sold, exchanged, or rented to third parties and is protected in a secured database. I ask that you surf on over to Pingie and give it a shot, after a few days you’ll never be able to figure out how you lived without it. Sign Up Now
