Mobile Slaw

I recently had the chance to look at Slaw on the very small screen that mobile phones afford you, and while I wasn’t downcast, I wasn’t blown away by the legibility of it all either. Because some of our readers, at least, will catch up with us as they zip between offices or head out for lunch at the food court, it makes sense for Slaw to offer a stripped down version suitable for the small screeners among us. MoFuse makes that possible. It takes our RSS feed (in this case just for the posts) and serves up a web page that is nothing more than a hot-linked list of our most recent ten entries (see the image to the right). Clicking on a link takes you to a formatting-free text version of the post, along with associated images. There’s a link to the regular Slaw site after each post.

Here’s the link to Slaw Mobile, then: http://m.mofuse.com/slawposts Enjoy. If enough people find it useful, we can create a separate site for comments, as well.

  1. The SLAW Mobile page looks great on my BlackBerry 8830. Having easier-to-read emails on a PDA is an increasingly popular demand (e.g., Lexis Publisher newspaper story results show up as really, really ugly URL’s on a BlackBerry).

  2. The “low tech” way of reading SLAW postings and comments on a Blackberry is to use Feedblitz for email delivery of this content
