From past few months, due to a long journey to and fro to my company (If you want to know, its around 4hrs to be precise) my browsing via mobile has increased exponentially. Therefore to pass time I started unraveling some of the amazing sites that the mobile web had. Here are some of the sites seriously worth a visit if you have a GPRS/Edge/3G enabled phone.
1. Twitter
Being a huge twitter addict the first thing I checked was the Twitter mobile site. The site is pretty good and very addictive. Mobile Web is the top source of my tweets now . There are also many other sites through which you can tweet via mobile now, (A Separate Detailed Post is coming on that shortly)
It is a complete striped out version of the Facebook but you can still see your news feed, friend requests, event invitations, update your status and almost everything that you can on the desktop site (Exception being Facebook Chat). iPhone can hop in to the iPhone version of Facebook
Here you can browse your Delicious bookmarks, tags, and your inbox. You can also browse the currently popular and recent bookmarks of the Delicious network.
4. Google
It is a one stop shop for all your Google products like Gmail, Google Reader, Google Maps, iGoogle, Blogger etc. Though all of the above have their own dedicated mobile sites. I somehow prefer this site over the others. The only thing missing in this site is Google Talk which doesn’t have a dedicated mobile site as well.
5. Flickr
Flickr recently revamped their mobile site after they saw that lots of people are using their mobile devices to click and upload pictures on the go. Now you can also comment and favorite photos from your mobile. iPhone and Google G1 users can also get to watch videos of upto 90 seconds on their phones.
6. NDTV / CNN IBN / The Times of India
Realising the potential of mobile internet users, many news agencies have now started dedicated mobile sites for people to read the top stories on the go.
7. Brightkite
I use Brightkite quite often. So I was also interested to know how its mobile site is and I was quite surprised to see that Brightkite mobile site has a lot of features. You can check in at a place, post notes and photos, see the people near you, check your messages etc etc. In short, it provides all the features that the main site provides in a striped down version.
8. m.ebuddy.com
This site is like a heaven for all the chatting addicts. This site currently supports MSN, AIM, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ, Google Talk, My Space and Facebook Chat.
We all are cricket fans. Isn’t it?
Understanding this, Cricinfo has a dedicated MobiCast on which they list the scorecards of all the live matches happening right now along with ball by ball Commentary.
10. Zapak Games
If you are a gaming addict and love Zapak’s games, then you would simply love the Zapak’s mobile site. Here you can play single player and multi player games, download games from a list of around 900+ games etc.
This list is definitely incomplete with lots and lots of good sites present on the wide world of mobile web.
How often do you access internet via mobile and if yes, which are your favourite mobile sites?
