.mobi emulator

August 24, 2006 | Comments

I was quite chuffed to see that the .mobi site which we built for Three, for their 3GSM awards entries, works nicely in the new .mobi emulator... which Carlo has given a bit of a panning to. A hearty slap on the back to Mr Skinner and Mr Ribot at FP for their work on the site.

I'd share his scepticism about the value of emulators - we did real testing on a huge range of devices to get www.three.mobi working as well as it does (after all, we were briefed by our client that it should work on any handset which a 3GSM attendee might use). That said, I guess some tools are better than no tools...

How teens use MySpace

How teens use MySpace: "This seems to be a way MySpace changes peoples’ offline lives. It’s possible to develop a friendship with someone you met briefly at a pub/club. Phoning would be too much. But you might become friends with them through communicating on MySpace."

Interesting. I've used it only to connect to people I know, and folks 1 step away from them - friends-of-friends who are slightly trusted (though not too much, given some of my friends, eh ;)).

Also - it seems compulsory for bands to have a MySpace area, even if they have a web site...
