Pinterest Mobile Webapp Review

Posted on by
Pinterest - a Pinboard

Pinterest is a social media startup that is quite the rage at the moment, especially with women. According to Comscore (by way of TechCrunch) it went from zero to 10 million monthly unique visitors in 20 months, faster than any site ever. All the more surprising as the service is still in private Beta. Potential members must be invited by a current user or request an invite. That makes it sound pretty exclusive however I received an invitation less than 24 hours after … Continue reading →

Posted on by
Mobile 360

I just discovered yet another mobile tech news site Mobile360.com, which launched around May of last year. It’s London based and appears to share ownership with the well established German language site mobile360.de. General mobile news is a crowded and competitive world but Mobile360 seems to have hit the ground running with frequent updates, well researched and well written items and an attractive site design.

Old Twitter Mobile Webapp

Yesterday Twitter announced that it was in the process of rolling out a new design that would unify Twitter’s look and feel across all platforms.  The new full Web version will be rolled out slowly but according the Twitter the new look is available now in the Android and iOS apps and at mobile.twitter.com.

Mobile Site Quick Take: Mobile Europe

Posted on by
Mobile Europe

New to me, but Mobile Europe has apparently been around for 14 years as a controlled circulation (meaning it’s distributed for free to industry professionals) print magazine covering the mobile telecoms industry with a euro-centric focus. It also has a website and this mobile website. I don’t normally give much shrift to these sorts of indusry rags, which tend to be mostly cut and pasted press releases. But two things caught my eye about Mobile Europe. For one, the content is actually … Continue reading →

The Verge‘s Eye Pleasing Mobile Edition

Posted on by
The Verge Mobile

Former Engadget editor in chief Joshua Topolsky’s new tech news site, The Verge, went live Nov 1st. I’m happy to report that it includes a nicely done mobile version. Based on Vox Media’s proprietary publishing platform, The Verge’s mobile edition has a clean, modern look that I find a lot more inviting than the overly busy desktop variant. There’s a mini-slideshow at the top of the homepage, which, thankfully, is not automated. Below it are thumb-nailed links to recent posts in chronological order followed by … Continue reading →
