Kerim Satirli just suggested a great idea for adding status updates to a Wordpress blog using Treasuremytext and the KB Advanced RSS Widget.
Why would you want to do this?
- Because sometimes a SMS is easier than writing a whole blog post!
- Because you want to update on the move!
- Because you’re a very very social person!
It’s better than….
As Kerim points out people can also use Twitter or Pownce to do this but for some of us in Europe, sending an SMS to Treasuremytext’s Dutch or UK number is cheaper than texting other service (or potentially free depending on your network / plan).
How it works
- Download this great Wordpress plugin
- Upload to your Wordpress plugins directory
- Enable and configure
- Start texting!
Thanks Kerim, and more ‘Treasuremytext extensibility ideas’ coming soon.
Happy to announce that our feeds are back and fully functional at Treasuremytext. Use them for entertainment, information, lifestreaming or just plain voyeurism!

It’s been busy at Treasuremytext over the last few days and as news of our service spreads through blogland it’s lovely to see a unique take on technology writing! Came across this yesterday: it’s a review of Treasuremytext over on king.kong the gadget and tech monkey blog.
Originality is not dead! We’re loving king kong’s style:
“i have been smsing the lady monkeys for sometime now, and its totally tmth (too much to handle) with all the ladies i am trying to keep track and having to delete my messages of constant fear of a girl getting hold of my phone, but the pimps over at treasuremytext have come up with the perfect solution! a online storage place for all your text messages which can be organized in many different ways to maximize sms functionality and use!”
thanks a bunch from the ‘pimps at treasuremytext‘
The RSS feeds are not working today. We disabled them when we found they were generally slowing things down disproportionately. So the site’s working OK even with a rather nice increase in traffic following a few lovely blog posts, but RSS isn’t. Hope to have that back up and running very soon.
Thanks to the fabulous Imran Ali, Treasuremytext has been featured on the Mobile Messaging 2.0 blog. I first met Imran at Barcamp Manchester recently. Imran’s written a great write up of the background to Treasuremytext, and raised some key questions for its future development which we will answer soon. (Data portability, and the ‘open mobile’ question being key issues.)
Massive thanks to Emily Chang for featuring Treasureytext on her wonderful blog eHub.
We love eHub!
OMG! Treasuremytext’s on Lifehacker. And also on Daily DIY!
Wow…
Ooh, we’re on Killer Startups which is kinda cool!
Treasuremytext 2.0 is now officially open for business. We’re open, and the ‘invite only’ signs have been taken down. No longer in private beta means we’ve got real life people treasuring their texts and playing with the new features. Yay!
We’re still being relatively quiet about telling the masses just yet, but we’re really happy that anyone who wants a free unlimited treasuremytext account can now have one. If you haven’t got one yet, get one here.
We’re planning to attend Over the Air, (48 hours of mobile development), London, April 4th. The event “brings together developers, designers, hackers and entrepreneurs to explorer the potential exciting future of wireless and mobile devices/applications“. Neat!
We’re hoping to learn stuff, to share our knowledge of working ‘near’ mobile, and to meet some mobile developers, specifically with iPhone or S60 skills.
Looks set to be a great event, and… it’s free.
