Five Reasons Why Web 2.0 People Need to Shut The F**k Up about the Mobile Web,

in reply to

Five Reasons Why The Mobile Web Sucks.

I totally agree with the content (but perhaps not the tone) of the top article. I consume cartloads of mobile content every day (on T-Mobile "unlimited - as long as you do not go over 1GB of content per month in which case we might let you know you're pushing it a bit" tariff). So it does not have all the bells and whistles of the full desktop broadband experience. Get over it.

Did painfully slow 28k modems stop the Internet from developing into what it is today? Did the fact that if you stayed connected for hours nobody could call you (and your phone bill made your parents have a fit) prevent you from finding information and connecting with people. Thankfully not.

Of course, this is only my personal opinion and it is based on how I use the web. Some folks believe that in the halcyon years of yore people knew how to relate to each other in person and oh wasn't it brilliant to find a hand-written letter from a friend waiting for you on your doorstep. Well, I'll take my avalanche of emails and text messages and Facebook pokes and Twitter updates any day over one letter per month (if you were lucky). But again, that's just me and what makes me buzz.
