greentips

 My friend Matt turned me on to a pretty neat service -- it's Green Tips -- Text GREENTIPS to 44636 and you will get a daily SMS sent to your phone with a green, (usually household) pointer. I don't read them everyday but usually they're pretty good. The messages are sent by USA Today and 4Info (for disclosure, I have a professional relationship with USA Today). I haven't tried to unsubscribe, but I imagine it's possible if you get sick of the messages or master them all :) There are ads in the messages, though usually for something local, relevant, or at least interesting.
