Yahoo India SMS Backup

We launched a new mobile service - Yahoo India SMS Backup (it is about a month already).

The product provides mobile users an option to store their important (not necessarily!) messages online and it neatly integrates with the popular Yahoo Mail application. Users gets near unlimited SMS storage and device independence. They just need to register their mobile phone with their yahoo id and forward messages to a yahoo SMS Backup short code (82438243), messages are automatically stored in a separate folder called SMS Backup in their mail box. You can try the product at http://in.mobile.yahoo.com/smsbackup.html

Will be interesting to see what kind of adoption it will have?

Yahoo Buzz mentions an Indian event!

I occasionally take a look at the Yahoo Buzz on messenger to see what the world is looking for. The typical buzz movers are Mario lopez, Shanna Barker etc..

To my surprise i saw an Indian topic being covered for the very first time under what the world is searching for - http://buzz.yahoo.com/buzzlog/35820/when-surya-met-jyothika
