Tinywords.com

__NoTOC__Tinywords.com is the homepage for a free mailing list that sends one haiku per day to subscribers (haiku are a short form of Japanese poetry). The daily haiku are available as an email, as an RSS web feed, or by visiting the website. There are currently over 2,300 subscribers to the mailing list.

SMS

Because haiku are so short, they are an ideal size for messaging cell phones and text pagers using Short message service (SMS). The daily haiku from tinywords.com are designed to be under 100 characters to fit the limits of most SMS devices. Tinyword.com has instructions on how to subscribe for users of the major US cell phone carriers and SMS services.

Smartphones and PDAs

There is an Avantgo channel version of the website that is specifically disigned to display properly on internet-capable smartphones and PDAs. There is also an I-mode version of the website for NTT DoCoMo's I-mode service for mobile phones that is very popular in Japan and becoming popular in Europe.

Additional website features

On the website visitors can check out previous daily haiku in the archives, as well as post responses to a haiku or see what others have written on the haiku. From the archives you can search for particular poets, or a specific word (you can find all the spider haiku that tinywords.com has featured, for example).

From the website you can also email haiku postcards feature haiga (a combination of artwork and haiku).
