– Here’s a quick and painless way to get updates on “The Real World” and other MTV shows, according to our friends over the Real World/Road Rules blog:

“MTV is starting a program where they send ‘insider alerts’ to your mobile phone. Alerts on ‘The Real World’ and ‘Road Rules’ are bunched together, so you can supposedly get news on both shows and the Challenges via your mobile phone. Although the site fails to offer any additional details and doesn’t say exactly what ‘insider alerts’ are, probably expect text messages telling you when the next show is on, or when a new piece of content is uploaded to the MTV website.” (emphasis added)
