Pakistan Cricket News SMS’d to your Cell Phone

twitter.pngCricket Bloggers of Pakistan: For some days I have been fascinated by the easy and utility of Twitter, this is without doubt a step closer to interconnecting the entire world via the mobile phone. The best portion of twitter which I have grown to love is the ability to deliver instant news right to my cell phone. I have configured a few twitter accounts and attached them to some RSS feeds and whenever the feed updates I get pinged immediately with an SMS containing a short description and a tinyurl to browse through using GPRS.

I have for the past few weeks created a number of Twitter accounts which is customized to update you with Pakistan specific news from some leading news sources in Pakistan.

With a strong passion for cricket I have just recently configured the Pakistan Cricinfo RSS feed with a twitter account aptly calling it PakCricket and now whenever there is a story update on Cricinfo about anything related to the Pakistan Cricket scene I get the news sent to me instantaneously.

To get these news delivered to your cell phone all you have to do is Signup for an account and add PakCricket into your friends list and rest assured you will get the next update sent right to your cell phone

I am still trying to configure the account to be able to provide you with live score updates, and if that becomes possible I shall attach the feed right to the same twitter page
