Get Web Updates on the Go
March 17th, 2008 | by Rob |WHY? You are busy and your love your mobile phone’s Internet access so read web updates on the go.
Today I was talking with a few people about 170spoons.com and last week’s series about getting updates from websites. They love the idea of going to just one website to get multiple updates from the websites they like to follow.
One of them wanted to know if she could access these updates from her mobile phone. The answer is: YES!
Well, yes if you have a mobile phone with the ability to access the internet. There’s actually a few options for you.
If you have Google Reader set up, then there is a special web address you can bookmark on your mobile phone to get all your updates formatted for the phone. Point your mobile browser to www.google.com/reader/m and sign in. One of my friends uses this site almost exclusively to catch up on web updates.
If not, Google has a slick little trick for you. Point your mobile browser to www.google.com/gwt/n and type in a web address when prompted. You’ll then be taken to a mobile-friendly version of that site. Here is what 170spoons.com looks like on the go.
