MWI on Twitter — 4 September 2009

As quite a few of you have already found out, info on MWI is available on twitter (and has been for a while; on an "experimental" basis).

There are currently two MWI-related twitter channels:

  • mobiweb: The main MWI channel. It distributes RSS feeds of MWI news as blog entries and shared bookmarks from the folks working on MWI at W3C. It also contains "sponatenous" tweets by MWI folks, e.g. live reporting from conferences relevant for MWI.
  • pmobiweb: Distributes the RSS feed of the popular "Planet Mobile Web". Most importantly, it provides an archive of past entries (since the planet does not provide an archive of older entries).
Hope this is useful, and if you want, follow us!

mobileOK checker bookmarklet now available! — 15 June 2008

A bookmarklet that makes it easier to use the mobileOK checker is now available from the Mobile Web Initiative Developers' Corner (in the "Tools" section).


mobileOK checker bookmarklet — 14 June 2008

See update for latest on this.

While we're on the topic of bookmarklets: I quickly adapted the QR bookmarklet to become a mobileOK checker bookmarklet.

Unfortunately, I can't currently convince my blogging software to let me post javascript URIs (probably for a good reason).

So here's the "work in progress" - will have to come back to this at a later time:

Bookmarklet: a href="javascript:/* mOK basic checker */window.open('http://validator.w3.org/mobile/?docAddr='+escape(window.location.href)); void 0">mOK basic checker

(in future, you should be able to drag the bookmark to your browser toolbar)
