Google expands wireless options to SMS

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.-Google Inc. launched a personalized tool bar that allows PC users to share Web pages via text messages.

The tool bar-installed in a desktop computer-includes a “send to” option that can be used to send an excerpt or entire page through e-mails, blogs or text messages. The offering is free except for carrier messaging charges.

The move is the latest effort by the Internet giant to expand its services from the desktop to wireless. Other Google offerings for mobile users include localized search and mapping services, Gmail Mobile, mobile Web search and a personalized home page.
