Powered by a privately-owned company called Mozeo, minute-by-minute updates from The Daily are now available by cell phone. The content consists of headlines covering all sections of the newspaper.

“We realize that many of our readers are very busy individuals,” said senior Jeremy Chou, an advertising manager in The Daily’s Business Department. “We also know that many of them text message. Sometimes, you don’t have the time to pick up the paper and read through it to get the information you want.”

Mozeo offers two services to users. One is TxTCasting, which The Daily uses to send headlines to subscribers. The service is available to all users via the company’s website.

The second service is Go Groups, which are similar to the email list groups widely used by dorms and clubs at Stanford to communicate with members, only using cell phones instead of computers.

Both these services are free for students. All Mozeo users can create a free account and receive any TxTCast they want, including those from Mozeo itself about stocks, news, business and weather.

“There is no charge by Mozeo to get these TxTCasts on their phone, and there is also no charge to join the Mozeo community,” said Nicholas Fruscello, Mozeo’s public relations director. “Depending on their current cell phone plans, their carrier may charge for receiving or sending a text message, but Mozeo will never charge.”

What remains to be seen is whether students will take advantage of the service. Elise Menke, a senior who described herself as a frequent reader of The Daily, said she has mixed feelings about TxTCast.

“It’s cool, but I wouldn’t do it,” she said. “I don’t do news alerts on my phone for anything; I’m not that technologically advanced.”

Junior Chris Elmore, on the other hand, said he probably will opt to use the service.

“There are things I’d like to read, and most of my reading time is on my BlackBerry while walking to class,” he stated.

The Daily has introduced several new features this year, ranging from the Mozeo service to an overhauled Web site.

“We try to remain open to any and all new ideas,” Chou said, “especially when it makes life a little easier for students.”
