Mobile & iPhone Versions of Sazbean.com in Just Minutes with MoFuse

mofuselogoI’ve been investigating various mobile applications and services, and one of the most fascinating are services that easily create mobile versions of websites.  As more people have smartphones, it will be extremely important to have a website that is usable on mobile devices (and others).  Luckily, RSS feeds make it very easy to port content across different platforms.

Previously I took at look at Unity Mobile, which was fast, but I enjoyed the experience with MoFuse much more.  Creating the site was as easy as giving the RSS link for my blog, uploading a logo and changing some colors.  The interface was very similar to WordPress or other blogging software.  I was able to preview the site before it launched, and there’s a WordPress plugin which will automatically direct mobile traffic to the MoFuse site.  I can also monetize the mobile site with ads (revenue sharing) and MoFuse has neat features like click-to-call.  For the full review, head over to New Media Hub.

The Sazbean.com mobile site is here.

iPhone Sazbean app can be found here.

Need Quick Mobile Site? With Unity Mobile, Be Up in Ten Minutes

I played around with setting up a Unity Mobile site last week for a review I wrote over at New Media Hub.  While the article is geared towards media publishers, I think it has some good info for anyone interested in creating a mobile website.  And as the title of this article says, I was able to create one in about ten minutes.

unitymobilelogoPriced at $99/month, Unity Mobile provides all the tools for local media companies to create a mobile site fast.  By using their templates, adding some images, text, and RSS feeds, a publisher can create and activate a mobile website in around 10 minutes.  Revenue is generated via CPM or CPC based advertising networks with 50% of the revenue going to the publisher.  While publishers cannot sell their own advertising, Unity’s system is ideal for local media who want to concentrate on delivering their content on mobile devices without worrying about finding advertisers. – Quick Mobile Site?

You can try out Unity Mobile for free.  They have 30 day trials, but even without the trial, you won’t be charged until your site actually goes live.  If you happen to give Unity Mobile a try, I’d love to hear how it works for you.
