An Idea for Radio Stations?
Ever hear a song on the radio that you want to know more about? While KEXP and KCRW et al have real-time playlists, my old-timey car doesn’t have the internets available on the dashboard like some of those high-falutin’ new automobiles out there. So I was thinking that some genius out there - more of a genius than me - should come up with a way to send a text message to a radio station, and a reply would include the little snippet of information just like the online playlist would provide.
For those that don’t mess around with SMS, Google has such a service for things as varied as airline flight info, translation services, 411, travel directions and a whole lot more. I find some of those services really useful, and would get something out of it if this could be integrated with radio.
Any takers on this little trivial daydream?

Text messaging while you’re driving; probably not a good idea.
HA! You can list this idea under “10 Ways to kill a nerd.”
Last I checked, this was illegal.
