New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's campaign is going mobile

TechWeb reports that New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's campaign is going mobile. The mayor's campaign Web site landed a spot on AOL's beta site AIM Today, where his smiling face appeared Monday morning next to the image of a cell phone and the words "Text Mike."

"In addition to urging people to send messages to the mayor, the Web site offers campaign news alerts and RSS feed. Though the billionaire mayor paid for the advertisement, it warns users that they will have to pay their usual company fees for the "alerts.

Bloomberg's opponent Fernando Ferrer has no mobile text messaging ads on his site, but he does offer RSS feed and has posted a blog which reads like a diary of campaign events and issue summaries."
