    That’s a surprise and certainly a growing trend – doubling in the last quarter. I must admit that I haven’t tried it yet myself, mainly because not only am I all thumbs but I never thought they’d be able to adequately optimize the layout to fit enough useful data on the small screen.

    Facebook has been especially on top of this with mobile text updates. It makes it very simple to update and receive status updated on your cell phone -without- using any data plan. My own sister uses it and loves it and updates are near instant and just work like they should. I bet more social sites will start thinking of ways to simplify using aspects of their services.
