I was trying to leave a comment on this site and was having a hard time. So I decided to post it here.

"Good set of comments.

Buiding ovi.com for Nokia, I get this ‘one web’ stuff all the time.

In the end, it’s about the experience. There’s a reason why magazines, newspapers, and books come in all the forms they do. It’s all text and pictures, but each serves a purpose based on usage, audience, medium.

Likewise with mobile device – we will ALWAYS will want to optimize the experience if we can, there is a distinction between the desktop use of internet apps and the mobile use of the same.

I think you’re spot on here!"

Now go read this great article

Link: "The Demise of Mobile???" | Blue Flavor:

To paraphrase: As mobile devices get better at rendering the regular Web as we know it, like the iPhone, doesn’t the need to create mobile specific content disappear?

Honestly this is a question I’ve largely ignored addressing on the Blue Flavor site for several months, not out of apathy, just because I don’t usually have the time to respond to the deluge of comments that typically comes from pondering such a heated and controversial topic.

But when Jamie, a Mobile Monday London member, posted the topic “The Demise of Mobile???” this week I was compelled to chime in with my two cents. I spent so much time thinking about my response, I wanted to share it here… ominously bringing the debate to our own shores.

Gosh. I just need to read up on this. But what I’ve read so far makes me feel good in many ways. In other ways, it makes me feel bad. 🙂

There’s a lot on my mind around this, but I am sure others are spewing out their own take on it that might end up similar to mine.

Off the top of my head: Plaxo, opening the social graph, some washed up networks, Google, Google, Google, and that pesky rumor of an immanent device (mind you, most likely guided by Rubin from Danger from Android now from Google).

Eh, I still don’t think this might amount to an effective play against Facebook.

Indeed, it is called OpenSocial in that the set of APIs allows developers to create applications that work on any social network that joins Google’s open party. So far, besides Google’s Orkut social net, LinkedIn, hi5, XING, Friendster, Plaxo and Ning (see Marc Andreessen’s post) have joined the party.
