US Gov. Portals with Mobility, Personalisation and Simplicity

Published by Rich under Business (web), Enterprise Web, Simplicity, Trendspotting

Simplicity is my favourite. Matt Williams at govtech.com describes a new breed of US State Government portals.

For example - “…it’s important for IT shops to foster a “culture of continual improvement” for their Web space, where changes are made in months instead of years.”

Funny how quickly things change

Published by Rich under Business (web), Tagging, Trendspotting

Linkagogo has always been my favourite online bookmark manager. I’ve loved using it since April 2004 when I listed fileforum as my first URL. Its also been one of the few web services that I’ve subscribed to with real US $$$.

All of a sudden, 883 bookmarks later, it doesn’t quite do the job any more….  and the reason is my 2 month old iPhone (and failing eyesight). Frankly if a web property, particularly a web service, hasn’t got a good mobile optimised structure and view option then I can’t use it half the time I’m on the web… and I’m not alone.

Linkagogo has got a mobile view but the font size is smaller than the regular site and my log in/password combination doesn’t work.  Time to get serious about mobile browsing - stay tuned….

That didn’t take long - 15 minutes later - Thank you iWPhone Wordpress Plugin !
