If you're part of the new social media crowd and already using sites like Twitter, Facebook, Netflix and more, you can't pass up an opportunity to try out Kwiry.com.
Kwiry (sounds like query) is a nice little "Beta" Web 2.0 service that acts as your mobile gateway to all of this plus more. It looks like Kwiry itself is a mashup of Twitter and a personal note taking service, but with their additions of gateways into other web applications, Kwiry becomes the personal mobile assistant you can't do without.
Kwiry will tie in with your cellphone and allow you to SMS text messages to it to leave notes to yourself or, and this is the killer app part, actually take actions on multiple web services. Are you standing in your local Wal-Mart and happen to notice "Serenity" on DVD and realize that it's the best Sci-Fi movie ever made and you still haven't seen it? Don't just remember it, don't just leave yourself a note. Using Kwiry you can quickly add it to your Netflix queue by simply texting "netflix serenity".
Want to update your Twitter and Facebook statuses simultaneously? Simply text "status Im in ur base killin ur d00dz"
Did you forget that "Hellboy" was playing on TV and you wanted to Tivo it? Just text "tivo hellboy".
Maybe your cellphone carrier isn't supported directly, or perhaps SMS text messages cost you money on your corporate BlackBerry plan? No worries - simply add your phone's email address to your account and send emails to "save@kwiry.com" instead of text messages. Just be sure to put your message in the body and not the subject line.
Kwiry also provides a mobile optimized website you can use from your iPhone, BlackBerry or other web enabled cellphone.
I've emailed support at kwiry.com and found them to be extremely courteous and responsive - I received personal answers back within five minutes.
The only negative I can even mention is that for full features you'll need to enable pop-ups for Kwiry.com in your browser. They use this to let you attach your Netflix, Facebook and other accounts without having to leave the Kwiry website.
I look forward to what additional gateways Kwiry adds to the service. I think this is going to be a staple of the mobile Web 2.0 user. I'm not sure how I've missed this service this long.
