What would you like to see on a mobile theBubbler?

[Mike]

If theBubbler were able to work on a mobile phone, what features would you like to see implemented? The mobile site would probably be as simple as possible so it displays correctly on a mobile device, so all content would have to be visible on a window of less than 300 pixels. If you have any suggestions, please list them here.

I don't have a mobile phone but, dang, you guys are always one step ahead of me. LOL! I swear, all the cool ideas I have for my site I come here and see you're either already doing them or plan on it.

Anyway, I'm way far off from being able to do this but my thought was to hook the business directory part of my site into it. So it would be like a portable phone book but with ratings and reviews. If you're out and about and looking for a good restaurant, you could just hop on and see what restaurants other people suggest. Stuff like that. I don't know how well that would work here since this site covers a broader region, but maybe if you broke it down by county?

Wisconsin maps via the Google map API (application programming interface) so that everything is geo-tagged.

id like to see the option of subscribing to a thread and receiving it in text format on my phone

so that way if i started a thread or enjoyed a thread i could get updates via text message

[keith]

Hmmm, neat idea.

I think you might be able to do that now. Here's how:

You can elect to get email alerts when for threads you've posted in now. If you change your email to one that forwards to your mobile text, you could get those alerts on your phone.

Does that work for you?

Thanks.

Keith

Keith that's exactly what would need to be done.
