Winksite founder David\u00a0 Harper just showed me a project that he’s been working on.\u00a0 It’s a new way to share all sorts of web content to mobile. The brand new service, separate from Winksite, is called Delivr<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Delivr<\/p>\n

Delivr is a very slick mash up of a URL shortening service with email, SMS, a QR code generator and some of the most popular web services; YouTube, Flickr, MySpace, FaceBook, Digg, Reddit, Google Maps, Google Translate, Twitter, Jaiku, Plaxo, Reddit<\/span> and Delicious<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Delivr has two main functions.\u00a0 One is as a mobile and content aware URL shortening service.\u00a0 Use Delivr to share a web page, video on YouTube, a photo on Flickr or a location in a mobile friendly format.\u00a0 It works a little like TinyURL,\u00a0 Delivr creates a short URL that you can share.\u00a0 But unlike TinyURL, where you have to copy and paste the URL into the service or media you want to share it on, Deliver has built in one click sharing with SMS, email or on Facebook, MySpace,\u00a0 Twitter or any of the other services that Delivr supports.\u00a0 Also unlike a TinyURL, when someone clicks on a Deliver their browser loads a mobile friendly landing page (which works well in PC browsers too).\u00a0 The Delivr landing pages give the option of viewing either a mobile formatted version of the content or the original.<\/p>\n

\"DelivrBut that’s not all.\u00a0 Everyone viewing a Deliver has most of same sharing options as the person who originally created it.\u00a0 So if you put a Delivr of your\u00a0 latest blog post on Twitter, I can open it and, with a single click, share it again by email, SMS or on Jaiku or Delicious.\u00a0 Very viral.<\/p>\n

In addition to working with Twitter and Jaiku, Delivr is a micro blogging platform in it’s own right.\u00a0 You can create a Delivr account which gives you a personal profile page on it’s own URL, mine is wapreview.delivr.com<\/a>.\u00a0 Just like Twitter, you can Follow <\/span>other Delivrers to create a Sharestream of Delivrs which can be viewed on PC or mobile. See wapreview.delivr.com\/following<\/a> for\u00a0 an example.<\/p>\n

Another nice feature of Delivr is that it has Google Translate built in.\u00a0 So If someone sends you a Delivr of a Japanese web page and you don’t understand Japanese you can open it as a mobile formatted version of the original that is also translated English or any of the other 36 languages that Google Translate supports.<\/p>\n

Delivr is not just for web urls.\u00a0 You can give it a Flickr user name and it will let you browse that user’s albums and find the photo you want to send.\u00a0 Or you can enter a YouTube video or Flickr Photo URL.\u00a0 To share a location, you enter a street address anywhere in the world\u00a0 and the Delivr will point to a Google map of that location.<\/p>\n

Delivr has another way of sharing that is possibly even more viral than direct URL sharing.\u00a0 When you create a Delivr there is an option to create a flyer.\u00a0 They are small (four to a page on 8 1\/2 by 11 paper) and contain a screen shot of your web page, photo, video or map and a QR code that points to the Delivr landing page for that content.
\n\"Delivr
\nAlthough, Delivrs are designed for mobiles, the Delivr creation page currently is not.\u00a0 I’m sure this is temporary.\u00a0 Delivr is still under development and David promises more content types and features very soon.
\nDelivr is not even officially released yet but it’s up and running and David has given me permission to share it with WapReview readers.\u00a0 You can go to Delivr.com<\/a> now and use it. You can even create an account which gives you some added features and control over your Delivrs, including analytics and the ability to enable comments on your Delivr landing pages.<\/p>\n

I’m very impressed with Delivr.\u00a0 It is the best way I’ve seen to share content in a way that is usable on both mobiles and PCs.\u00a0 Unusual for a new service everything seems to work perfectly and the design of the site and the mobile landing pages is very clean, attractive and usable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
