Well, I’m blogging about Kwiry now because Kwiry works very well.

Kwiry is a service showcasing at the PlugandPlayExpo today and it’s definitely something that anyone would love to use in the real life. How many times you would like to take notes about something and just because you don’t have a way to take a note, you simply don’t?

Sometimes I take notes on my mobile phone but… I forget to look at them when I’m back home or at my office.

Kwiry solves this problem is a very smart way. You just need to send an SMS to a specific number (yes, KWIRY on your dialpad) with some keywords. I sent “Kwiry blogging” and what I got is that an email with all the relevant information collected from different sources (search engines etc.) was sent my way and I find it on my inbox when back at my computer. Kwiry’s tagline is: text it before you forget it.

The email below is what I received:

This way you can flag it and you immediately have a rich reminder just sent to your inbox, something I (and certainly you) will meet soon :-)

The first time you use it you receive back an SMS asking for a reply with your email. Done, from now on any message you send to that number will become a rich reminder on your inbox.

They also have a set of keywords in order to make your reminder a real “search” on various networks. Let’s say a friend of mine tells me about a good restaurant in San Francisco. Let’s say it is “La Ciccia” (an italian restaurant which offers food from my own region, Sardinia). How to take note about it? Easy: I just send a SMS to KWIRY (59479) with the following text: YELP LA CICCIA.

The email I’ll find waiting for me in my inbox is the following:

One click away from me on Yelp!.SMS is not the only way actually… what about using Twitter and sending a Tweet? Mobile Email?

There is much more to discover about this service, take a look and leave your comments with your opinion. It’s one of the most useful services I found out here at the Plug&Play Expo.
