Delivr Update Improves Mobile Usability

Posted on by

Delivr is the short URL  service that I  use with Twitter and other micro-blogging services. I like Delivr because it’s fast and reliable but most of all because it is mobile aware.  Mobile visitors to a Delivr URL get the mobile version of the target site, if there is one, otherwise they see a mobilized view created with Google’s transcoder. Desktop visitors to the same Delivr URL are transported directly to the original link. As much as I like Delivr … Continue reading →

I’ve Rediscovered Tweete

Posted on by

Twitter was down all morning thanks to a stupid DDOS attack. When it came back up my favorite Twitter mobile client, Dabr, didn’t come back up with it.  Dabr’s still down 14 hours latter.  After using the Twitter.com’s extremely limited mobile site for a while I started looking for alternatives.  The first one I tried was Tweete. Not only was it working but Tweete has added a whole bunch of features since I last looked at it in in December. … Continue reading →

So instead of posting  a Tweet to Twitter and then going to Facebook and any and all the other social networks that you use and updating your status on each one – you just update … Continue reading →

Slandr – Best Mobile Twitter Client?

Posted on by

With Twitter no longer sending SMS updates except in India, Canada and the US there has to be a lot of interest in other ways to get updates on a mobile phone.  As long as you have unlimited or cheap data you can easily follow your Twitter friends using the mobile web.  Twitter has a mobile web based client at  m.twitter.com.  It’s rather bare bones but Twitter has an API and third parties have used it to create rich mobile … Continue reading →

Peperonity Update

Posted on by

I ran into Peperonity’s Sanda Freilingsdorf at CTIA and quized her on what was new at the site I once naively called “The Biggest Mobile Social Network You Never Heard Of.” It turns out that there’s a lot that’s new at Peperonity since I last covered them nine months ago. The following are new features I discovered: A brand new mobile site design which was launched this week for the CTIA show. As you can see in the screenshot above the site … Continue reading →
