    Today marks the official start of WWDC, and we at TUAW plan to cover the heck out of it. As always you can check out all of our coverage at our WWDC 2008 page, via our RSS feed, or by following us on Twitter (assuming Twitter stays up during the keynote).I know what you're thinking: why can't TUAW send the most important news from WWDC right to my phone? Thanks to Pingie, we can! Head on over to TUAW's Pingie page to enter your phone number and we'll send you news throughout the week directly to your phone.You can also subscribe to TUAW's Pingie posts simply by texting 'ping tuaw' to 95495 and if you're had enough of our ramblings you can stop the notifications by texting 'ping stop' to the same number.

    Next week is going to be a busy one for the Mac blogosphere and TUAW is no exception. Sure, you can watch our Twitter feed for goings-on (we'll be reporting our location regularly), or subscribe to our Macworld 2008 tag feed, but what about keeping tabs while you jog? Enter Pingie. As Nik explains over on Download Squad, Pingie takes RSS feeds and sends SMS messages whenever something new pops up.You can put in pretty much any feed you like, but Dan over at UNEASYsilence was nice enough to create a hot little landing page for TUAW's Macworld feed. Just put your email and phone number in, and you're ready to get updates as we publish them. Please be aware that you're gonna want the unlimited text messaging from whatever carrier you're with-- we don't want iJustine-style bills going to anyone.To unsubscribe from the Pinged feed you can text "Ping Stop" to 95495. Let the pinging begin!
