Compilations: SMS Search and Info Tools Plus Other Mobile Goodies

Yesterday, we linked to a report by Greg Sterling about the release of a new SMS (text message) search service (YP411) from YellowPages.com. What follows is a list of just a few search and information resources available via SMS. Many of these resources also offer other ways to access them with a mobile phone or device. We plan to add to this list in the future. At the bottom of this post, we have links to other ResourceShelf posts with direct links to many sites optimized for mobile.
