OK, if you have not jumped on the Kwiry train yet, you must!

OK, if you have not jumped on the Kwiry train yet, you must! I've already told you how you can send a text to (K-W-I-R-Y) 59479 to remember books, movies, or to-do items and how you can even add products to your Amazon wishlist and update your Netflix queue, well there's more. Kwiry just announced that you can now send a text saying "tivo Gossip Girl" and it will schedule a recording of the next episode to your TiVo.

Additionally, you can text Kwiry for things like Yelp information, including reviews, contact info, etc. And if you really want to go bananas with Kwiry, you can text "contact geekyjill@gmail.com" to email contact info and vCard attachment while on the go, or text "status going to Cindys" and kwiry will update your Facebook and/or Twitter accounts — no word of a lie people. And you thought Google's 411 service was impressive.

Kwiry Can Now Send You Netflix and Amazon Updates

When we're out and about, my boyfriend is always telling me to remind him to add such and such movie to his Netflix queue or remember a product name to look up on Google later.

When we're out and about, my boyfriend is always telling me to remind him to add such and such movie to his Netflix queue or remember a product name to look up on Google later. Today I'm sending him a link to this article so I can retire from all my "remember this and that" duties. If you haven't heard of it already, Kwiry is the ultimate "free" service that will send you text messages of all the things you want to remember. Not only can you send yourself email reminders, add tasks to your calendar, add a feed to your RSS reader, but you can now add products to your Amazon wishlist and update your Netflix queue, all thanks to Kwiry.

Once you sign-up online, all you have to do is text a message to K-W-I-R-Y (59479) with the name of the service you want and then the name of the product, movie, etc., and Kwiry will do the rest of the work! The only thing I'm a tad skeptic about is providing a website with all of my passwords, but they swear everything is encrypted so I may just have to go with it.
