Thursday, August 16th, 2007

Is there a sale on versions that I should know about?

Hey TechCoire, I’ll be away next week on vacation; please don’t push past, say, Mobile 5.0 while I’m away. OK? Thanks. :)

TechCoire presents:

Mobile 3.0 - The next generation of mobile services

DATE/TIME: Thu, Aug 23, 6:00pm-8:30pm

LOCATION: Sacramento Marriott, 11211 Point East Drive, Rancho Cordova, CA

COST: $40.

Mobile technology has come a long way from the days of being simple voice, SMS and even as an email device. The question is while most of the current services are maturing, what new services are likely to emerge and what business models will emerge to support that ecosystem of value added services. Join a panel of experts who will discuss:

What are today’s consumers demanding and tomorrow’s users going to demand?
What are the emerging applications that are already finding a niche?
Will Mobile TV/Video continue to be a niche-play or will it find mainstream?
What are the critical success factors for mobile applications?
Where is the money today? Where’s the spending tomorrow?

Winksite Releases Major Upgrade - Love the Mobile Web.

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

You asked for it. We built it.

What’s new?
Here are the most prominent benefits in our July 6th release:

It’s mine and I want it to look that way.
Personalize your mobile site with your own sense of style. Mix and match various color schemes and backgrounds. Sure it sounds pretty standard but we came up with something different that you can proudly call yours while still working across a great variety of mobile devices and screens.

100% valid XHTML code.
With this release every mobile site published at Winksite is fully compliant with W3C Mobile Web Standards. Without having to lift a finger or squint at code your Winksite is guaranteed to score 5/5 on dotMobi’s MobiReady Report. What does this mean beyond bragging rights? Broad support across every browser on the planet to start. …and for those visitors still using WAP, no worries we serve that up just as neatly as ever. Combined with our RSS-driven content deployment, this approach delivers fresh and fast-loading content to you and your audience.

Preview: From a desktop browser (not mobile) hop over to the dotMobi’s MobiReady Report generator http://mr.dev.mobi/ and copy & paste http://winksite.com/xhtml/ms_main.cfm?susid=1561 into the validator to run an analysis and receive it’s MobiReady score. Alternatively, go directly to the results.

Simple to navigate. Simple to use.
Each Winksite benefits from thousands of hours of fresh research, user testing and community feedback. From it’s simple, channel-based structure, to it’s universal “Main Menu” link, Click-to-call dialing options, and easy to use community features - each mobile site you launch comes bundled with a pleasurable mobile experience.

Before the world can beat a path to your door first you have to be discovered.
With your content and our search engine optimization features you can start your climb to first page mobile search results. First, add descriptions & keywords to your mobile pages to allow search engines to index your website more efficiently. Then sit back while our smart presentation templates make the best of Title, H1/H2 tags, and link naming to tweak your pages for maximum SEO goodness.

…but that’s not all - every mobile web site now comes complete with it’s own Google Mobile Sitemap.

The mobile Web is not just for phones anymore.
We’re now delivering your site and content to new places. Gamers and their WiFi connected version of the Internet have been largely ignored by Mobile & Web 2.0 publishing and community platforms. We’re changing that. Whatever you choose to build at Winksite is now served up optimized and fully functioning to the Sony PSP browser and Nintendo DS Lite Opera browser over WiFi connections. With the DS-Lite in mind we provide a fast loading and readable version while in overview mode. The PSP is delivered a version that eliminates the horizontal scrolling (and reduces the vertical scrolling) required to read posts and chat with your friends. (Note: This part of the release is based in part on feedback we received from the download and use of the WordPress Ultimate Gamer’s Pack we provided to Wordpress publishers several months ago.)

What about the Apple iPhone?
No worries. We have it covered with a set of iPhone-optimized web site templates. Fire up your iPhone’s Internet browser and check out your Winksite by tapping in your mobile site address or the following mobile URL - http://winksite.com/xhtml/ms_main.cfm?susid=1561 - changing the susid number to your own.

What about the Helio Ocean, Nokia Nseries/s60, and others?
