FeedBeep and PubSub just announced their partnership to deliver PubSub RSS alerts to mobile phones via RSS.

“Using PubSub, FeedBeep delivers instant access to potentially critical news. For example, when a press release is published containing keywords or phrases requested in users’ subscriptions, FeedBeep alerts those subscribers via SMS. In this example, public relations professionals and reporters would receive instant notification of breaking news important to them, without having to continually monitor dozens or hundreds of Web sites from their computer.”

It seems the latest Slashdot survey, predicting that “receiving feeds through mobile units such as cell phones, SMS messaging, voice mail, WAP or portable audio players will increase”, was right.

And why not, since RSS to SMS in fact promises to improve our lives by giving us easy access to the time-critical information we need most, when we need it.
