We’re making a major change to our AgWired Mobile service starting today. As many of you who have subscribed know, we’ve been sending custom text messages via AgWired Mobile when we see important information that we believe you’d be interested in knowing. Feedback has been great. However, we found that most of what we posted via AgWired Mobile was also being posted on AgWired which was a real duplication of effort.

With the help of Commodity Update’s Joel Jaeger, we built a way to direct the AgWired feed to our mobile text service so subscribers will now receive texts for each post on AgWired containing the post title and link to the post. We’ve set it up to only send texts between 8am and 8pm central time since you know that we do some late night posts. We won’t be waking you up with texts in the middle of the night!

In addition to this announcement we’re also implementing a mobile phone web browser version of AgWired and all the ZimmComm News Network sites that include Domestic Fuel.com, Precision Pays.com and World Dairy Diary.com. We hope to have that implemented very soon. Then when you get your AgWired Mobile text on your phone the link will take you to a very simple text only version of the post/website. Now how’s that for some new innovation?

To sign up for AgWired Mobile all you have to do is text the word agwired to 46786 and you will get your AgWired news fresh and conveniently wherever you are. Don’t wind up wishing you had seen a story but didn’t have the time or ability to check online.
