Written On My Phone Because Mobile Browsing is Boring

by

Do you find than browsing on a mobile device is boring and are there ways to make the mobile internet more user friendly

Sure you can get a better smartphone or use a better browser but I find myself sometimes feeling like I have gone back to 1998 when browsing on a mobile. But this time its not popular but install the app request. Most apps seem to nothing more than glorified bookmarks anyway and if I want any true functionality from a website 99% of the time I need to visit it on a laptop or desktop. In principal mobile browsing should be the same as desktops because Google has said the future of website design should be minimal design.

What site looks great in a professionally tweaked desktop with a high speed internet connection should work the same on a low end handheld device. Because websites should be about access to all and not just bloated eye-candy. Needlessly implemented social networking scripts slow down browser rendering especially on mobile and leak link juice both cause an effect on you’re sites ranking and send visitors to social networks that are just about data mining for the old style big companies that are trying to shut down the free enterprise that the whole buy online business in the first place.

Tell Me How Mobile Browsing Can Be Less Boring

Now how does this help make mobile browsing less boring easy you tell me below in the comments where the best sites to visit on any mobile are because I can’t find any as I am turned off using my phone to find new sites since most of then just want a Facebook like or to install an app before I even read or browse a few pages

Note About this Blog Post

I used writer to create this post which is a writing app for android so if you can’t browse on your phone at east you can write with it but the app does not make you a great writer as you can see by the quality of this post. after writing this on the app I emailed it to myself as a file attachment it’s a great app and can be downloaded for free in Google Play here.

Finding Sites Like Xstockvideo

by

Each time I look for sites like Xstockvideo.com using such terms as free to use commercially video or download videos to use commercially for free, I get the same results all explaining the legal mumbo jumbo about creative commons licences.

I see a few sites that are offering royalty free video but with a hefty pricetag. Then there is the problem with sites like archive.org and flickr who make it difficult to see the licence information. If I create a video and upload it online for others to use I have no problem with anyone making some money from it so long they give me some credit or attribution. But to many this seems to be a big issue how about you would you care if someone made money from some of your video footage that you uploaded for others to use ?.If not please make a comment with a link to your downloadable footage so long as it’s free to use for commercial purposes and free as in it does not cost anything.

Take this Video on the public domain for example is of a nuke test.

I have put some music instead of the original audio but the track I used was over 2 mins long and could have done something more creative with the had it been easier to find video I can use commercially plus the video would have been much longer.

Thought About Using BuddyPress Again

by

If you were on this website/blog during the week you may have noticed that I had reactivated buddypress which turns your wordpress blog into a social networking platform. After reactivating my buddypress I decided that buddypress is not worth it for my own reasons such as, There is too much work deleting spammers and my traffic amd online earnings went down after setting up buddypress here.

Then there is the lack of themes and the need to use too many extra plugins just to get it to work. I am done with buddypress if you want to register and write a blog post that is fine so long as it’s original I will publish it you can link to affiliate products if you like but no rogue sites. Another problem with buddypress is that I have found few good sites to use as successful buddypress examples most have 1000′s of inactive members or overactive members writing about their shoe stores.

Another thing is I no longer care about it and need to spend some time using my computer for more than just boring administrative tasks and social bla bla bla.

This is WGT an online Golf Game which I tried out this evening it would make a good buddypress community if I was interested in Golf, But maybe you are and you are looking for some kind of topic to create an online community about maybe this will help you think broader about what you can do with buddypress if you want to my problem with the social networking platform is that I am not a social person :). Well not after the last time I had buddypress installed anyway since as mentioned above I was constantly deleting spammers I did find a solution in the form of wang gaurd a plugin which will delete sploggers for you, But when I discovered it the spammers has gotten the better of me as in the had me brought to a point of total demotivational reason to offer anyone any kind of service for free as it’s always abused.
