I came across Mosio during my normal 6 hours-a-day surfing the web. I signed up for the service a few months ago and I don’t think I really grasped how cool Mosio was until I was at the bar.
A couple of my fraternity brothers were having a heated debate over the (ever so) political topic of whose breasts are bigger Pamela Anderson or Elvira. A light bulb flashed over my head and I said text that question to ask@mosio.com… No wait do it from my phone.
We did it while I was explaining that this site has a service where real live people can answer your questions via text message, and usually pretty quickly – did I mention it was Free? Yeah you knew that was coming right?!?
AskTheAdmin has covered Wikipedia’s sms app and a few others. None of them gives you that extra zing of being answered by a real live person and not a machine. The first time i hit it up I asked it if it could find a review of AskTheAdmin.com. Two people found me a review I had never seen before , and summarized it. I got back a text message that said AskTheAdmin.com is a great website there is a review about them on TechWag.com. 5 seconds later I got another one saying AtA is all over StumbleUpon. Almost makes me feel famous 
but back to my original question – the boobs…
We were drunk. So while I was explaining Mosio they had already forgotten about the boobs and were intent on asking Mosio all sorts of stupid questions! Then a text popped up on my phone…
BAM! As usual I was right but, this time the fight ended so much easier… And a lot more peaceful! Now you can’t put a price on that! Obviously you can use this for other things as well.
How about directions, movie listings, froogle prices anything you could have looked up in front of a computer – now someone else can look it up and text you! Sweet!
They also have a bunch of mobile apps here. As you can imagine the Chuck Noris Quote Generator was right up our alley but we pointed and stared at the Text reminders – another handy tool! Wow these mosio guys thought of everything!
Check it out, sign up, add them as a contact on your phone right next to goog411 and wikipedia. Hey they are free why not make use of them.

So if I read this correctly, they send you your info via text? That is awesome! I tried your wikipedia thing when you wrote about it, and all I got back was a link to their website. A quick answer via text is what I am looking for. I am sooooo checking this out!

The difference is Wikipedia gets you a text book answer right away (If you can follow the link) and sometimes this can take a little while.
But it is very cool and the possibilities are endless.
Be warned it is addictive!!! You will find yourself answering other peoples questions into the wee hours of the morning.
