Ripping mobility from the clutches of telecom
RSS Feeds for Mobile Bookmarks
One of the things I’ve started doing for “send to my mobile” is using del.icio.us to do the bookmarking from my desktop browser and subscribing to the RSS feed from my mobile. I bookmark stuff and tag it “mobile” when it’s something I might be interested in coming back to and reading from my phone. Both the Nokia browser built into the N95 and Opera Mini support subscribing to RSS feeds, so it’s a great way to move stuff back and forth. I was going to say “Would be great if there was a way to optionally wrap stuff in Mowser on display”, but then I realized I should just add a modified version of the bookmarklet to Firefox so that I can opt for transcoding then instead:
javascript:location.href=
'http://del.icio.us/post?v=4;url='+
encodeURIComponent('http://www.mowser.com/web/'+
encodeURIComponent(location.href))+';title='+
encodeURIComponent(document.title)
Not as clean, but that’s pretty workable.

How does del.icio.us load in your browsers? I’ve always had problems loading the page in IEMobile.

del.icio.us doesn’t load very well, which is the reason for using the RSS feed instead of just bookmarking the del.icio.us page. Russ just made a feed mobilizer that you can use instead of wrapping the URLs in Mowser explicitly:

The Foxmarks addon for the Firefox browser is worth a try. It automatically keeps your bookmarks synchronized. You can also log in to my.foxmarks.com to manage your bookmarks from any computer.

To use my delicious bookmarks on all my mobile devices, I created a service for everyone free to use. Check out the website below:
