TV.nu: TV show reminders via SMS

The (very good I might add) TV listings site TV.nu just released a new service: reminders via SMS.

This is a great service for people like me with a very obvious disability when it comes to remembering when that great show is on, or when that excellent documentary that I just have to see airs.

Seems easy enough to use, readily accesible from the TV listings. But of course it costs you to be a bit senile. Free to join, but each reminder adds 3 SEK to your phone bill (I guess, they don't specify how you pay).

DEMO | Sms-påminnelser @ tv.nu

Had an interesting related discussion on #joiito with a few guys from Finland (Hi samikki and Ecyrd!) about SMS services. Did you know that in Finland you not only buy bus fairs using your cell phone, you can also pay for your parking and even your speeding tickets (of which the amount somehow is tied to your income...)! Needs checking out. ;)
