Anyone Need a Google Wave Invitation?

Google's latest buzz is called "Buzz". I'm still wondering if there are people who still uses complex service Google Wave, after the launch of Google Buzz. I'm a big fan of Buzz and am pretty regular at it. Last time I logged in to my Wave account and noticed that I'm given the power of inviting others to Wave account. I don't know if there are people still interested in trying out Google Wave. However, if there are people out there who are still hunting for a Google Wave invitation, request one here.

MobilePress: The simplest way to mobilize your blog

2

Mobilizing a blog means making a blog compatible for any browser of mobile phone device. In this age of advanced technology, most of the people love and feel comfortable to use their mobile phone for browsing the net. It is also made easier to browse with the latest mobile phones with powerful internet connectivity. Since people are browsing from mobile device, and your target is to get maximum number of visitors to your blog, you must mobilize your blog thinking about those mobile visitors. That means you have to create a mobile-friendly version of your blog.

Everything is being mobilized.

Everything is being mobilized.

The recently released mobile devices have built-in browsers which allow users to visit any website or blog right in their mobile phone. Apparently there is no reason behind mobilizing your blog. But, if you take a deeper look into the matter, you’ll figure out the following reasons:

1. Not all mobiles are symbian. A good number of users around the world are using JAVA mobile sets so you must think about them too.
2. Your blog may have lots of widgets which can slow down the loading time for the visitor visiting your blog from a mobile device. Also, if the user is using an internet connection on his mobile for what he has to pay according to data carrier, he will not visit your blog. It’s simple. There is no reason to spend money for visiting your blog.

There are several more reasons why you should mobilize your blog. Let’s describe the factors stated above.
A huge number of visitors worldwide are using Java enabled handset. Most of them use Opera Mini browser in order to browse the net. With Opera Mini, they can browse any website even if that is not mobilized. But when it’s about your blog, you must make it comfortable for your readers to visit and read your blog from both PC and mobile device.

If you mobilize your blog, all the sidebar widgets will be gone and the contents will be shown only. However, if there are ads inside posts, they will also be shown. It will definitely make your readers feel comfortable to read and post comment. Also, the chance to get clicks gets increased from the mobile-friendly version of your blog. :D

There are lots of third-party services out there who are waiting to mobilize your blog for free. But, I suggest you using a simple plug-in that’ll immediately and simply mobilize your blog after a few clicks! When a wonderfully simple plug-in is available for your WordPress-created blog, why go elsewhere? The features including the link to download from have been stated below.


MobilePress


It’s one of the most simple and useful plug-ins that you must use in your blog. It’s as simple as “Download > Install > Activate > You’re Done”! The plug-in allows you to mobilize your blog immediately after activating it. It also gives a cool-looking theme for the mobile version of your blog.

4. You can choose whether Opera Mini or iPhone browser will show the mobilized version of your blog. These options are available in the options sub-menu under MobilePress menu at the bottom of the left [After the plug-in is activated].
