Content publishers get free mobile site with Mippin Maker

I had a note in from Scott Beaumont at Mippin to let me know that their Mippin Maker tool is now available. Essentially, if you’d like to create a perfectly tailored rendition of your site for every mobile handset, Mippin Maker is for you. It’s free, too. (You do actually need to have a site with an RSS/ATOM newsfeed in order to take advantage of Mippin Maker.)

I’ve got one already, thanks to the team there. You can see it at mippin.com/smstextnews. Here’s how it looks rendered on my desktop browser:

I decided to try out the Mippin Maker process with my brother’s Bladewatch blog. All I did was type in www.bladewatch.com into the Mippin Maker URL box and *immediately*, I mean IMMEIDATELY, this page appeared:

Smart! That was it created. It’s got a temporary URL — mippin.com/mippin4030 — I imagine if my brother ‘claims’ the site, he’ll be able to change that to something a little more relevant.

It really is that fast. Give it a go with your blog.

  1. It is nice, BUT external links are not shown as links. Keep that in mind. I wrote a comparison post between this and two other free mobilization services here: http://www.ssixty.info/2008/04/mobilize-your-site-for-free-with-mowser.html.

    A Mippin employee commented on that piece letting me know that external link support is something that they’re working on, and it’s coming in the next few weeks.

    Vlad’s last blog post..Mobilize your site for free with Mowser, FeedM8 or Mippin Maker
