Sending SMS messages from the Internet is not a new idea, and currently there are a number of companies that provide this service. However, with growing number of service providers it gets harder and harder to pick the right one.

Luckily, GigaOm was on the task and Katie Fehrenbacher, one of the site’s contributors, posted a very useful article titled “5 Ways to SMS for free“. There Katie, as the name says, goes through some of the most popular services that allow users to send SMS free of charge.

We’ll just summarize the services she mentioned. They are: TeleFlip, Peekamo, Gizmo SMS, and TxtDrop. At the end, Katie suggest that you should check whether your carrier provides free web-to-SMS service…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    Also remember; never tell a woman you love her, unless you are willing to marry her. Then, infatuation is basically selfish where real love is basically selfless. Infatuation is more interested in satisfying yourself and your “feelings” than it is in the other person.

    Real love is primarily interested in the other person. It seeks to give instead of get. Love unselfishly seeks the highest good for the other person.

    Lastly, infatuation is weakened by time and separation where real love is strengthened by time and separation. This does not mean that there will be no pain in separation. On the contrary, there is great pain in separation if you are truly in love.you don’t know much in-depth about the person you so-called love. Thus infatuation is mostly biological.
