SMS 2: The Reckoning
I have raised my personal connectivity to another level with this service from AOL. It seems they have just recently implemented the ability to send text messages to cell phones using AIM or iChat.

Plus, I can even have IMs forwarded to my cell phone as an SMS message when I am logged out, idle or away!

Now, I don't need to be this connected. I don't get that many messages. But I guess that is why it appeals to me. The occasional message now and then is not a problem. If I got them all day long then it would be annoying.
