Over 3 years ago, I posted my small collection of websites optimized for PDA or small screen viewing. Since then I’ve had a steady stream of visitors (recently averaging about 10,000 page views per month) and some great referrals from other sites, but the page and its contents were being neglected and needed a refresh. This past week I rewrote by bookmark system from an old database to del.icio.us. A short Perl script periodically grabs my del.icio.us bookmarks and creates the page content. Now as I discover new mobile websites, I can tag in del.icio.us and they’ll be picked up…
Searching around the Mozilla Add-ons site yesterday, I found a cool extension for displaying mailing list headers in Thunderbird. This addon reads the extended mail headers and if mailing list headers (ref RFC 2369) are found, they’ll be displayed as active links. Common links include subscribe/unsubscribe options (mail or web) and archives.
This weekend I was explaining to a friend the new geotagging capabilities in Flickr and other online photo sites. After posting a photo from my Treo 600, I ran into an interesting phenomenom when I went to geotag it: what happens when the physical structure or location is significantly different now versus when the satellite data was taken.

So, I made a best guess while tagging. Whenever the satellite data is updated…
Bloglines just released an update to the Bloglines Mobile portal that integrates Skweezer technology: For those of us who rely on and love Bloglines Mobile while on the go, here’s another reason to dig it. Bloglines has now integrated Skweezer technology to optimize web pages for your personal handheld mobile device’s viewing pleasure. Bloglines Mobile is pretty interesting, but its usefulness is sometimes limited. The mobile display of feeds usually works well because they’re pretty lightweight. But, following links to real websites is practically useless. By integrating Skweezer into all outbound links, they’ve made this much less of an issue.…
Today was the final day of the Future of Web Apps conference and another set of great speakers. Today’s best talks were from Michael Arrington, Ted Rheingold and Evan Williams. The whole day was good, but those doxycycline-buy.com/ three stood out. Overall it was a great event and I’d recommend it for anyone in or trying to learn about the latest in web applications.
