As you may notice, I’ve created a mobile version of this blog using service from WireNode.com. I’m very impressive with the simplicity of the service - it took me only about 5 minutes to do everything. Now you can read JustTalkAboutWeb DOT com from any mobile phone (optimized for iPhone too) via the link:

To get more info about WireNode, I sent an e-mail for company’s history and Tomas Zeman, WireNode’s innovator, said:

We have started 3 years ago and we were doing services for mobile operators. We are cooperating with O2, T-mobile and Vodafone. In those three years, we have created more than 20 different mobile services for them. (MMS sharing, mobile surveys, chats, mobile games, …)

In 2007, we decided we want to do one open mobile project for everybody so we have created service, where anybody can create mobile website. We launched the service in October 2007. Till that, we gained about 2000 registered users and they created more than 4000 mobile pages.

Now just create your first mobile site by typing in your blog URL and selecting “Mobilize blog” button on WireNode’s home page.

WireNode - Add blog URL

The service can automatically detect your blog feed and you’ll be asked to create (sub) domain name for mobile version in form of “???.wirenode.mobi”.

WireNode - Choose domain name

If the domain name is still available, it will redirect you to simple registration form. After register your user name/password, you can login to the site management (that looks like a Google’s service site, I perceive). Actually, at this step your mobile site has been ready to run unless you want to change default settings as the following steps.

Click “Settings” link to get into site general settings; change “Language” and “Category” of your site and click “Save settings” button to finish.

WireNode - Change settings

WireNode - Change general settings

On editor tab, your home page should be there with blog title, sub-title and a RSS widget in default theme. You can change theme up to color tone of your blog, add additional pages/components etc. I’ll let you discover all functionality but I’m sure that everything can be done with a few clicks only.

WireNode - Site Editor

For my mobile site, I changed theme to “Matrix“, added a logo to home page and created “About” page then click “Publish” button on left panel - all done in less than 5 minutes. Here is how mobile version of my blog looks like on a (fake) phone. Not too bad, right? :)

WireNode - Site on phone

The last step you should do is to promote your site by adding promotion widget to original blog (or to your Facebook, MySpace, Hi5… profiles) . You can find my widget at bottom of right sidebar.

This is NOT a paid review; I just like WireNode for its simplicity and effectiveness. Thank Tomas and the team for great service!
