Daily Adventures on the Go, or How I am Mobilizing My Blog

Yesterday, I happened upon Wirenode, which is a fairly new service for bloggers. I was instantly intrigued to discover that I can easily create a mobile web page version of my blog. I was able to choose from a variety of different colors and styles. I was also able to choose from a selection of available content, including a Twitter widget. I love Twitter, so that was a definite plus. The site is based out of the Czech Republic, but it is also available in English. Because the service and website seem to be relatively new, the wiki and faq sections are somewhat incomplete. There really is not a comprehensive help section, though they do offer support via email. There are widgets that you can place on your site to promote your newly created mobile application. Wirenode also keeps daily statistics of hits on your mobile web page in addition to page views.

Right now, I am just testing the waters, though I am initially quite impressed. Feel free to access the mobile version of Daily Adventures by visiting http://dailyadventures.wirenode.mobi.

I am Really Digging Digsby

With this cool tool, I can see my Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter friends’ updates and newsfeeds in one quick glance. I can also keep track of which of my IM contacts are online using multiple IM clients. I can keep track of incoming emails from more than one provider. For example, I use Hotmail, Yahoo, and Gmail. Digsby also offers some widgets that you can embed on your websites and even Myspace and Facebook. One of the widgets I use is the chat widget. I highly recommend Digsby, especially if you are a social butterfly on the net. It is a big time saver and quite a nifty tool.
