Or if you have a decent phone, set a calendar reminder? I really don't see how this is innovative at all.. useful, sure, but hardly innovative enough to use over a regular alarm clock.

There is no guarantee the text messages will get through, and you need to be able to send an SMS to an email address to be able to set reminders from your phone. Our testing has shown that with Verizon, only 70% of the email to sms messages make it to the phone. Not what you want for reminders. Also, my startup email said I need to send my pings to likens45layouts@gopingme.com. I'm going to type that into my phone? If they were using real SMS this would not be needed because they would know my phone number and would be able to identify my incoming pings. A great idea, but they should have taken it to the next level. Get a short code, or get on a shared short code. It looks like they are using the free email to SMS gateways.

It "pings" you as well. even sending text messages to your cell phone, gtalk, and email. plus, you can share you calendar with others. So how does this differ?

You can add events to PingMe through the web interface, email, or SMS, and your pings can be organized using tags. Your pings are sent out via email and/or SMS. PingMe makes an obvious allusion to Twitter with its tagline, “What should you be doing?” Of course, you can already set reminders with Twitter (and a whole lot more), but if you want a more robust yet decidedly Twitter-like solution, PingMe has promise. Then again, when it comes to SMS reminders and scheduling, it doesn’t get much better than Google Calendar’s SMS integration.
