push to make the 43 Things site more mobile-friendly

Now I just have to figure out what all this means for my little phone. Apparently, those of you who have Windows Mobile as your web browser access on your phone can probably achieve this by directing the 43 Things RSS feed through Google Reader, and accessing Google Reader from your mobile phone.

If you are confused, since I haven’t tried any of this out yet, I have to admit, so am I. But I have been getting into this a little more, so I will keep you posted, if someone else doesn’t make sense of all of this before I do.

I have a phone with a small screen…nothing like the iPhones and the other similar new phones coming out. But I do have Web access on my phone.

When I first got on this site, I could view – from my phone – my goals and how many cheers I had from the box on the right side of the webpage. The right side of the webpage appeared at the bottom of my phone screen if I kept scrolling down. However, after I added more than 10 goals, it no longer scrolled down that far. That’s when I thought I would request that a mobile version of this site be created. (Many websites are doing/have done this, like AOL, Google, banking institutions, etc.)

So I went to the 43 Things suggestions (under About Us, “Give us feedback” which is at the bottom of each webpage here) and created a “Should Do” account, and suggested this.

Out of 210 suggestions for 43 Things, it is now #60 on their suggestion list. But no one from the company has responded to it yet. That is why I decided to list this as a goal here, and track their progress – if any – on it.

This will help me reduce the losing of my cheers available, which I have discussed and complained about underneath the “learn how to use this Website better” goal.
