Free Skype to SMS public Beta service launched

Marcus Williamson from Connectotel gave me the heads up that he launched a new (and free) Skype to SMS beta service.

I then asked him: "How much traffic are you generating?" and he wrote back:

"We started the private Beta of 'Skype to SMS' last week and had 50 users on that who generated 2000 'Skype to SMS' messages within a week. That is, messages from a Skype user to a mobile phone.

The 'SMS to Skype' service has been running as a public Beta for three weeks and has generated about 1500 'SMS to Skype' messages. That is, messages from a mobile phone to a Skype user.

Sending from 'Skype to SMS' is generally considered more interesting by end-users, but feedback from technical people suggests that 'SMS to Skype' is more innovative, because no other chat/instant message system currently allows this."

I guess Marcus was not familiar with AOL's Mobile AIM service or that a similar service is available from Yahoo! Mobile (at least in India).

As far as fun SMS services go, Google SMS is a real interesting development too.

www.enjoyingsport.com provides the Nike Free 3.0 v3
The Nike Free 3.0 v3 Running Shoe offers the best of both worlds: the benefits and feel of barefoot running, along with excellent support and cushioning.
Benefits
Seamless mesh upper for a lightweight, breathable fit
Phylite midsole for durability, a resilient ride and reduced overall weight
Deep Nike Free flex grooves for enhanced flexibility and stability
Weight: 7.2 oz (men's size 10)
Fit
Minimalist by design, the Nike Free 3.0 v3 features a seamless upper that's as flexible as it is breathable. Open mesh allows air to flow, while bonded lightweight overlays help lock the foot in place without restricting natural movement. The inner sleeve adds a plush feel, and off-center lacing reduces irritation that can be caused by chafing.
Flexibility
This version of the Nike Free has wider flex grooves across the forefoot for muscle activation, providing natural flexibility, ample protection and just enough support for serious comfort. On Nike's barefoot scale, the 3.0 most closely mimics the barefoot experience.
