moblification: m.w-uh.com

Saturday,  01/05/08  08:07 PM

So: I have "moblified" this site; if you are viewing with a Treo, iPhone, BlackBerry, or other handheld you might want to try m.w-uh.com instead.  Among other things, it works great on my new toy (and my old toy, a Treo 650, too).  This version of my site is simply piped through Russell Beattie's mowser service.  (You might want to bookmark mowser.com on your handheld also, so you can view any site through this filter.)

My standard site as seen by a browser worked well via mowser, but using the "robot" version of my site, as served to Googlebot and bretheren, worked better.  Mowser simplifies the page structure, removes scripting etc., and shrinks images, among other things, to create a better experience on a handheld device.  This seems like a great idea - whether it will catch on and whether Russell can monetize it through ads or whatever remains to be seen...
