Well I had looked for this when i first got my mobile device however there didn’t appear to be one around back then. I have only had a brief little play with it so far, and while it definitely works it is not completely brilliant. It may just be the fact I am using IE mobile on Windows Mobile 5 but most other mobile sites come out great. What it does do very well is actually give you access to be able to write and manage posts. So even if you are just typing something up on the go and going to format it later then it’s a great little tool. I have never managed to get blog by email working that well for me and it always needs formatting afterwards so this is pretty much the same, and has an auto-save feature so as you type you won’t loose anything !

So I have been a member of Twitter since November 2006. At that Point twitter worked great for me here in the Cayman Islands and was actually proving quite fun and usefull. Since then they have changed their international number to the UK from the USA. Ok no problem, I don’t mind the SMS rate to the UK .. infact for me I think it is the same as to the USA .. I don’t mind paying it and I don’t expect them to set up a local Cayman number (although as you can send web sms at www.cw.ky I don’t think it would be too hard to set something up). The trouble when they changed international number is that I stopped recieving updates via SMS. So i temp switched to IM. Eh it’s ok .. but i was a little upset with the fact that it meant i had to be internet connected. Then I noticed a problem .. my Twitter kept on getting updated when I received updates as my IM replied with “I am currently away from the computer” which would then go to all my Twitter friends who followed me, making me look lame.

So I emailed Twitter asking for help to get my phone working again, they told me they no longer supported the USA number so I had to switch to the UK one, I knew this already. Anyways now I can’t even verify my phone although I had done previously both at the start and since the change, but I had to delete the phone settings and start over as updates stopped coming.

I am really wanting to try out Jaiku as it looks like in a microblogging way it actually can SMS you fees from your twitter account and from anything else you may choose to read by a RSS feed or API etc .. As I am not a member yet I don’t quite know how well thath works, but if they send updates of it all via SMS I can have SMS recieving updates from my favourite blogs, news sites, twitter .. everything.

So if you have a Jaiku invite .. please send it my way !
