Aboogy on your mobile phone

October 22nd, 2009

We are pleased to announce that now you can set Aboogy as your home page on your mobile phone at address:

m.aboogy.com or mobile.aboogy.com

Sign in with your existing username and find your favorite links on your mobile phone.

What you will see there is a light version of your Aboogy. The main differences of standard and mobile Aboogy are:

- Weight of the site is less than the original Aboogy page to speed up loading on slow internet connections.
- Standard five column is just too complex for a lower screen resolution so we have put all your categories in one column and arranged them alphabetically for quicker reference.
- Image links are converted into a separate category of “Images”
- Large selection of search engines is cut down just to Google mobile.

What is not possible on Aboogy mobile site, but will be in near future is:
- Registration of new users. New users have to register trough classic Aboogy page.
- Adding, deleting and updating categories and links. You can edit your links on standard Aboogy site.

As you can see, this first release supports basic functions of Aboogy service. Despite the current limitations of the extended Aboogy arm you should have better surfing experience while using your mobile phones.

At the very end there is another important thing. We invite all of you who surf the internet using your mobile phones to tell us how Aboogy looks on your mobile devices, is it bothers you and what features you would like to see.

Sign in with your existing username and enjoy mobile.

    fantastic. thanks.

    In terms of “how it looks” I see that on my Blackberry, the sections of my aboogy page are collapsed and in alphabetical order (not order as they appear on my regular page).

    To tweak this, I will rename my list of special mobile sites to place them so that they sort first on my mobile list.

    It was our itention to make them all collapsed and in alphabetical order for better usability. First category should be opened by default. So it seems everything looks like how we planned :)

    We have plans to make some options for aboogy.mobile (default category included) but we cannot promise that’s going to happen in next few days so tweaking your Aboogy sounds like a good idea for now.
    After all, that was the first thing I did :)

    This feature works very well on my Blackberry. The idea of having all the categories start collapsed is good. For my tweak, I renamed my “mobile” sites in categories that start with a 1.

    Now all we need is a tool like AQL for the mobile browser.

    Nice work.

    One other suggestion that is a “wish-list” item for me… themes for the homepage (similar to Google or Netvibes homepages). I get weary of the three color selections. :) Love Aboogy, however.

    Don’t know about QL for mobile. Seems like a too much of a challenge at this point. There are simply too many different phones with mind of their own and no standards at all. However, we will include some way of adding bookmarks via mobile phone. I’m just not sure about QL.

    Three color theme is what you get when you have a team of three programmers on-board :) We are considering to hire a designer though.
