Don't you think they should have some kind of version system so people know when a change has occured so we can try out new features and such when it's updated?

Yeah.. adopt the version number scheme the Linux kernel uses.

Google SMS just graduated from the Labs, but will still be in beta for both the United States and United Kingdom.

Yahoo, just released its new SMS service, which is still in beta as well. The battle continues.

I have been messing around with this and tend to get back:
Sorry, 'blah blah blah' did not return any results. For HELP on Google SMS, please reply with 'help' or go to http://sms.google.com.

I'm not sold on it yet... I use a Verizon Wireless phone, in the US... Anyone else have any luck with it?

Lol, now that's scary! Let's hope Google's Corporate motto remains "Don't be evil"
