I'm thinking of making up a mobile version of YWS. It's not too hard to do actually, but before I do, would anyone besides me use it?

Nate--


I have a Blackberry that I use to distract myself during boring lectures. Mobile YWS would be more than appreciated.


Thanks,
Brad

Just made one; real quick and dirty like. Front page needs to be redone, but that's it. Otherwise, works alright. Will do some polishing later.

How would it work, though? Could you check new posts and write new ones and stuff? Or would it just be PMs and such?

It's just a very simple text forum, although PMs are not included.

Note: May not work for everyone just yet. I'll polish it up soon so that it works wonduhfully.

I never have enough credit to do anything other that (maybe) look at one site. This is a bad thing. It might be good for some other rich-as-you-can-get types.

It's a good idea though.

Well some smartphones and PDAs can connect wirelessly in cities for free internet so its good in that sense.

what's really the point? I mean, You can just get on at any computer with internet service. I guess it won't matter much, but it seems a waste of your time

I'd use it, when and if my phone is charged. I'm always forgetting to charge it so it's hardly ever on, but yeah, i'd totally use it.
