"MoDazzle  is one way in particular to mobilize your social networks, specifically LinkedIn, Facebook, Salesforce and a couple others.  Using email addresses and SMS short codes, there are ways in which you can access a variety of features on these supported social networks.  \n\n\nFor instance, you can look up a LinkedIn  contact by emailing the search request to MoDazzle, or you can access your unread Facebook messages by sending MoDazzle a request via SMS.  Other options for Facebook  support include the ability to poke other users, check a friend's online status, read your wall, or post to a wall.  Aside from granting access to your various social networking tools, there are other search tools, like Google Maps, ZoomInfo, Starbucks (in case you really need a shot of espresso), Yelp for restaurant reviews, flight updates, and weather.  \nWhile I'm supportive of furthered integration of tools into email and SMS, MoDazzle seems to have taken a somewhat sprawled approach to providing you with mobile access to these various networks and search tools.  Each task for each network or resource has its own SMS code and email address.  This can make for a rather cumbersome search tactic or access portal, even if each contact is saved in your email client or your mobile phone.  Just glancing over the user guide for each tool is daunting, so I can only imagine that trying to remember which contact goes with which task can take some getting used to while scrolling through your contact list.  \nEven still, MoDazzle wold only be more useful for those lacking mobile browsing.  With networks like Facebook already providing a pretty useful mobile extension, along with most of the other tools supported by MoDazzle, it may be far easier to access the optimized networks provided in an independent manner.  Likewise, there are several mobile package tools, like Widsets  or Mobio, that give you a more comprehensive approach to accessing certain information in a mobile manner."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
