With Touchstone it will rank and prioritize information and display it in different ways - one of those ways might be IM and SMS - but another might just be a news ticker or an alert that follows the mouse for a few seconds. I feel this is a broader solution because it's trying to give you teh tools to manage your attention - not just send content to SMS.

ZapTXT is a free service that also offers RSS filtering and email or SMS notifications. While SMS notification will only work for the North American users, there is a <a href="http://zaptxt.com/home/mobile" rel="nofollow">ZapTXT Mobile Widget</a> that you can install on your mobile and have access to your RSS data from your mobile phone. That might be very useful when you're away from your PC.

I'm using it for over a month now and it is really amazing when your (filtered) news is pushed through your IM. Every time it pops up, it's like, hey, yippy, wow!!! Although the service is already in Beta there are enough thing to improve. Once you've finetuned your feeds, it's an ideal service. To give you an impression for what I'm using it: Every day I take the A4 highway, I filter the traffic feeds for all feeds containing A4. In financial information feeds I'm filtering on the companies I'm interested in (or invested in). So, only headlines containing (google, yahoo, ebay, philips, Heineken -I'm dutch, so Heineken is a must have-) Sport feeds are filtered on my favoured clubs And I just plunged in all my del.icio.us tags on all other feeds I'm reading (I've noticed that del.icio.us tags contain my interest fields, and the news rasasa is pushing through is instantly personalized to my interests. Hope you enjoy it as well. Rasasa is indeed a great tool (and I’m telling you this because I’m an advisor of Rasasa).
