411Sync reaches 10,000 keywords created
411Sync, which was profiled a few months back here on the Shoutblog, has reached over 10,000 keywords created. That’s a tenfold increase in 3 months. They are seeing over 160 keywords being made everyday.
411Sync is the only company that I know of that is letting users dynamically create and share keywords for mobile phones. Think Yubnub, but for mobile phones.
Keywords are really the way to go in the mobile space, since it allows users to access a deep selection of services without the hassle of menus. 411Sync recently turned down an acquisition offer from a privately held mobile email company. The CEO, Manish Lachwani, tells us that an acquisition at this point would be too early, since they’re currently working hard on new features that they’ll be rolling out.
411Sync also rolled out an SMS bookmarklet, which allows users to easily send web clippings to their phones.

Actually our company allows users to dynamically create keywords on a real short code. Our API is 411Sync compatible. 411Sync users don’t have to change a thing in their code.
411Sync is a great service, but it is not appropriate for commercial use. Our API allows users to charge for premium SMS as well.
