Yahoo! has launched a new mobile app, Mixd, that has several interesting components:
- One-to-many texting
- Photo and video sharing
- An Internet interface to manage the content
TechCrunch has a “mixed” review of the service. I haven’t yet had a chance to play with it. One thing that’s interesting is the fact that the Yahoo! brand is subordinate here.
Another thing that’s interesting/important is the PC-mobile connection. That provides more value to the user and more strategic leverage to Yahoo!

I’m still waiting for push technology to come crashing into the fray. And I want to be able to pay the check at a restaurant with my Treo. What I believe is going to happen is that some company, say Google, (they wants cell phones to be free), is going to take advantage of push to make cell phones free.
Until then, we’re going to keep seeing lukewarm offerings like mixd.

Yahoo is all mixd up
