I’m Ron, the company’s CEO and co-founder. It looks like people have a lot of different opinions about the service; even MobileCrunch itself , with even you and Nick having different takes... @1,4 - I realize that there are people out there like yourselves who are content with the memo function on their phones. However what we’ve found is that a lot of people do forget things even in spite of that memo feature…. things like songs or restaurants your friends recommend at dinner, books you want to read, or stuff from your favorite magazine that you want to learn more about or buy online. kwiry uses the one device we always have on us to create reminders as soon as we find something we want to remember (smart phone users can email reminders to save@kwiry.com). When you get back to a computer (where you can surf in a full browser) you can access search results for your kwirys with one click from our website or your e-mail. We encourage everyone to try kwiry out before they form an opinion. I’m happy to answer any specific questions that aren’t covered in our FAQ by email at ronf AT kwiry DOT com. Thanks! Hi John,

Here is an idea... sms yourself! Use your phones inbox to store messages... Im sure the 100 msg cap on crap phones will be 1000 by next year. @1,2 - Couldn’t agree more.

My inbox is my default to do list. Quick easy way to integrate with it. I think that they have built a very useful service that is extensible. My inbox is my default to do list.

Just as a memo, I doubt how many people will use Kwiry. But if it can be used as extension of facebook, iGoogle and so on. There can be some potential users. I totally agree with blueenigma.

Why wouldn't one simply type their idea into their phones' memo feature, which is a standard application on most newer phones. Open the application and type. No need to pay an SMS fee (if you don't have an unlimite plan) and no need to wait until you are in an area with service, which one would have to do to sms kwiry. Even underground in a train station you can save an idea in NOTES. Not the case with SMS. This applications utility is equivalent to calling a service to request a wake up call (with a per use fee) instead of simply buying and using an alarm clock, for free (after the initial purchase).
