Mowser = Mobile Browser

Started by Thom Allen · 8 months ago

I don’t want to jump on the Mowser.com band wagon just yet. I’ve only discovered the site and have been doing some spelunking with it. One of the reasons I am excited to see this project is because of Russell Beattie. I followed Russ for a long time as a blogger on Mobile tec ... Continue reading »

    Ahh! So you're the one! I just noticed two memory errors in my logs stemming from vergenewmedia.com... ;-) Looks like my code decided to try to download those videos and covert them (which it can't do) and died trying. What it *should* do is forward along if it doesn't understand the content-type, but for some reason in this case it didn't, tried to load the videos into memory and hit a hard-cap I set on that.

    I'll definitely put it on the list and see if I can figure out what the deal is ASAP.

    Thanks!

    I don't think it's cool that Mowser inserts illegal ads into everyone's content:

    Oh, so your complaint is that someone has taken the time to help you out by making your site mobile readable? Shame on guys like Russ. Until you pointed it out I didn't even notice the ad. At least it's not some intruding ad that gets in the way of the content. All I want to do is read the content. Make your site work with a mobile browser and I won't access it via Mowser.com.

    And nice plug for your company. I guess you feel even now?

    By the way the ad isn't inserted into your content, its at the very bottom of the page. You would have an argument if it were in the middle of your text, but its not. And there not even really ads.

    Russell, unfortunately, is copying stuff we did like 3 years ago. So as far as a plug goes... whatever. The fact remains, however, that he's stealing content from publishers and with "Ads by AdMob"... and I, you, People.com, etc ... did NOT give permission to do so. This arrogance that he has about it is remarkable....
