Mobile social media sites

all

Posted Friday, 15 August 2008

I’m back in Honolulu after my conference, and I am catching up with my social media sites today. Some of the sites have reasonable mobile versions, so I was able to post updates and stay current through my phone or my iPod’s WiFi connection:

At least one of my sites offer mobile versions with very limited feature sets:

  • LinkedIn offers a contact list. On an iPod Touch, it’s a little clumsy to use. Other than that, there’s hardly any useful content available. 
Some of my favorite social media sites have no mobile versions at all. Bookmarking sites are a good example, as most of these sites are designed to support desktop and laptop users. Mobile phone users have to use their browser’s bookmark menu.
