Oh look, a shiny new toy

The Livejournal website is hideously mobile-unfriendly, did you realize? I'm trying to post from my new G1 and have to zoom out to the point of illegibility just to see the entire text box.

But more importantly, I have a G1. This means I also have a real @phone contract, including free weekends, so no more hesitating to call me! I also now get my email intravenously, among other things. I could also be on IM intravenously, but some idiot has decided that IM should go over SMS instead of data, so that would burn up pretty quick. Will probably not be on that much until there's an app for it that does use data.

do you know about http://www.livejournal.com/mobile/ ? I use it on my blackjack all the time.

Beat me to it.

I use LJ Mobile from my Samsung t629, which isn't even a real webphone.

I take partial responsibility for this one. When you search [livejournal] on your mobile device through Google, you get livejournal.com instead of the much more sensible www.livejournal.com/mobile/. We're working on it. :-)

I should totally take more responsibility for that, unless we're working on more-closely-related things than I realize.

Seriously though, if you have complaints about how Google works on your phone, I'm absolutely the right person to tell and can probably fix it within two weeks.

No, it's on you. Aside from sitting near (and working with) people who work extensively on that, I have basically no day-to-day exposure to the mobile search world. I'll drop you an e-mail about it tomorrow, but there's a sensible reason that it's happening which is either a thirty second or a bigger-than-two-week fix, depending on how people choose to handle it.

oo, no I hadn't heard of that.
