The New York Times Brings the Latest News via SMS

The New York Times, one of the best newspapers in the U.S., has tapped the power of text messaging or SMS to deliver the latest news, columns and features directly to our mobile devices. The service is free of charge but standard carrier rates apply.

Though this development is noticeably late for a newspaper known for covering important technology newslinks, it is still a welcome feature for many of its readers who are always on the go.

Just send a text message using the right keyword (here's the complete list), send to 698698 (NYTNYT) and you will receive the 3 most recent articles about your favorite topics or even columnists.

Though NYT claims the text message keywords will appear in the appropriate sections, I ended up really frustrated looking for those keywords and announcement about this very practical feature. With too much texts and graphics on each layout, they must make it easily recognizable for the readers.
