Siteonmobile – Not Everyone Has A Smartphone
This might not be the only such product being developed, but it’s notable nonetheless. Siteonmobile appears to be a toolkit that will allow for ‘compressed web interactions’ supporting existing (or new) web services. What does that mean? I think it means that it will be easier for websites to support a few common features that will work via voice or SMS. The service also seems to promise ease – perhaps an automated method of showing Siteonmobile what you want it to do, and it does the hard work?
I carped on something similar back in aught nine. I think more causes should think about reaching more of their constituents through these channels. How much easier would your life be, as a homeless person, if you were able to double check bus times, shelter availability, and work opportunities from your phone?
