My web-host acts funny as the date for dotShow is passed once again. Dramhost has been troublesome and a lot of hassle lately that I’m considering moving out all my websites from their boxes. I just got dotShow’s dedicated website up once again, which is another blow to the show. It’ll be up and I’ll announce it as soon as it is a real go. My apologies, once again.
I’ve been using Gmail on my mobile for a while. Been givin’ me hard time, really. Most of the time I’d receive the “Data server not available” — a lot of hassle. I downloaded the Gmail Mobile-client yesterday and been playin’ with it since then. It saved me a lot of bandwidth/credit to be honest. Gave me all the interaction that is available on Gmail on the web with all the AJaX active stuff.
Naturally every time I used a web-based service on mobile I was disappointed with the user-interface limitation and the poor interaction on the mobile-web. I’m so against installing clients and software whenever I could do the same thing online using a web-browser. Not with Gmail on Mobile.
After months of suffering using my mobile-web-browser to access my Gmail, I’m finally wearing a smile while checking my e-mails.I’m using Gmail Mobile-client.
Even though it’s a perfect client for now, expect more clicks than the regular GMail, well, it’s mobile, be patient with that for now.
Download it using your mobile by pointing your browser to http://www.gmail.com/app and feel the freedom from Firefox or Safari while using your GMail.
More on this as I get to know it more and play more with it.
If you’re into website design and development you’d difinitly know the importance of IA and user-experience. Web savvy people would know that. But not the bad guy at your client’s marketing office. So here I wrote a piece on the importance of IA, Copy and the basic need for planning for information design for the suits-guys. Here it is at AMEInfo’s Digital Marketing column, Looks good, why doesn’t it work?
