Welcome to SMS Text News!

I’m Ewan, I’ll be your host.

I’m founder of the site and I’ve written this quick 60 second guide to help place SMS Text News in some context for you.

Often, when visiting a new site, it’s difficult to quickly assimilate the information you need in order to evaluate the content we’re offering.

Here we go: SMS Text News in 10 sentences!

1. Our audience is in the region of 250,000 per month.

2. Roughly 1/3 of the readers are C-Level, 1/3 are mid-management and the other third are mobile fanatics or do-ers.

3. Mainstream media and the blogosphere regularly monitor, cut/paste and republish our content. Being quoted in the Financial Times last year was a good day for us. Not, for Arun Sarin, though, as we were a teeeny bit critical of his decision to dump

4. SMS Text News originally began covering text and picture messaging news. Our heart is still there but we’re now focusing a lot more on wider subjects.

5. We cover a wide range of mobile related news and we provide inordinate amounts of opinion-forming perspective. Not just SMS. But that’s where it all started.

6. We’re PR and industry friendly. That is, if you’ve got a story to pitch or a bit of news — or you think we should write about you, we most probably will.

7. If you’re a new startup in the mobile industry, we guarantee we’ll cover you.

8. We’re funded by co-founder Ewan and advertising support. We’d be delighted to discuss advertising deals with you, just contact us.

9. We publish daily and sometimes at odd hours although given just over 20% of our audience visits hourly across the business day, we try and have good interesting stuff to read published regularly.

10. We aim to generally be positive with our coverage, apart from the odd rant.

Thanks for reading. There’s a lot more to read on our About Us page.
