Using WordMobi – wordpress client for Nokia Phone

On June 15, 2009, in Personal, Tech Gyan, by shashank

I had spent sleepless nights looking for a good blogging client for my Nokia E71 . This is a great phone and I had really thought that Nokia would have taken enough care in making things more efficient with it’s business series!
Little did I know that people in the enterprise do not really blog, they have people to blog for them!

About 10 minutes ago, I stumbled upon ;) a great tool – WordMobi . I was directed to this site by an unofficial Nokia E71 blog – E71.wordpress.com. WordMobi is available here . The developer claims that the application will work without any trouble on Nokia E71 and has also been tested on Symbian 5 series . It requires Python to be installed on the phone before WordMobi is installed and there is a very good installation guide here .

I particularly like the insert options. There is no need for you to know HTML anymore. The application has everything set for you, in form of start and stop. So if you want to insert a link, all you need to do is select Insert Link , and type the address. You can continue o write your text after that, and once you are done, again go to Insert Link and select it!

Facebook Status, Twitter and Micro-blogging

On April 2, 2009, in Personal, by shashank

How much can one write in 140 characters? Not much?!? There are millions of people who are posting their thoughts on Twitter daily, in 140 characters.  There is yet another set of young netizens, who login to Facebook only to update “What’s on your mind” and share it with the rest of the world.

Micro-blogging has been around for a while and has started to catch up recently because of the ease of venting the increasing frustration in the youth. A crashing economy, pink slips, lower pays and higher taxes have led to a situation where the current generation can not think about anything but work. The hectic schedules and omnipresent stress doesn’t allow people to interact with each other and spend quality time with friends and family.

Micro-blogging is the easiest resort for this community to interact, discuss, shout, tell, share – What’s on your mind! When I update my status on Facebook, I know that it may be read by 150 people. These people may sympathize, appraise, help, comment, suggest or just add to my emotions.

It is a nice way to connect to the world and the best part is that you do not have to speak to anyone about it. It is personal, discreet and yet so public! It helps people in getting rid of their emotions, or enjoying them more, and that’s the reason it became so popular in such a small time.

Follow me on twitter @ranaonline or let me know if you like micro-blogging!
