The website Frengo that is known for their mobile games has just launched a service allowing users to post bulletins and leave comments for friends on MySpace from any mobile phone with text messaging enabled.
In order to sign up for the service you have to first shell out your MySpace username and password as well as your cell phone number to the company. I have an old MySpace account that I don't use, so I signed up under that account just to see what Frengo was all about.
Once you're signed up posting bulletins is pretty easy. You text your bulletin message prefaced by the phrase "MYSPACE bulletin" and like magic it shows up as a bulletin on the site sent out to all your friends with a friendly "Frengo" logo on it just to make sure everyone knows where it came from.
I had some serious issues with the comments feature. In order to send comments you have to know the URL of your friends MySpace page off the top of your head. MySpace doesn't require you to customize your URL so for some people this could be a random string of numbers, for others it's their name or some sort of catch phrase. Unless you pay a lot of attention to the address bar when your surfing MySpace chances are you don't have any idea what the URL is for anyone you would want to post a comment to, and remembering them all is hardly worth it .
