Ask HN: SMS alert you want?

Posted by oldmanstan on Thursday December 09, 2010 @01:26AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I made a small app for myself with SMS alerts. I'd like to make more apps like this.

Is there anything that you'd like to receive an SMS alert for that you're currently not able to?

I'm sure it exists, but SMS of specific twitter keywords in a stream. Example, the police here tweet about accidents/delays on the roads, and I don't want every one of their tweets, but it would be nice to only get the ones that are for road xyz

Not since the advent of twilio.com.

I would like to know when friends are online, for example on skype.
