I’ve discovered something very useful which I think will help mobile social tagging to really take off – Opera Mini Bookmarklets. I’m addicted to bookmarklets, which I use all the time in my web browser. If you haven’t tried them yet, give bookmarklets a whirl. They give you browser toolbar buttons that do all sorts of neat things with the web page you are currently viewing. Like searching Technorati, Bloglines or Google Blogsearch for blog items that refer to the … Continue reading

You upload your content to FunForMobile’s PC site and download it to your phone from their wml WAP site wap.funformobile.com. FunForMobile can also send the content … Continue reading
Photo by Rick Takagi Some rights reserved This week’s Carnival is one of the best ever. Hosted by Xen Mendelsohn at Xellular Identity the latest edition has some great thought provoking posts.
