Creative freedom flourish in the Mobile Web
Artists of all types are invading the mobile web.
A growing number of musicians, actors, painters, photographers, designers and writers alike are taking advantage of the presence of mobile site providers in the mobile web to further promote their artworks, exhibits, concerts and portfolios.
Mobile site providers like Mobilemo feature highly innovative and user-friendly tools that artists may easily use to build their own personal playground in the mobile web. The label “struggling artist” is a thing of the past in the mobile web as most of these mobile site providers offer free memberships. Artists are able to increase their presence in the arts & entertainment industry without the need to shell out the extra cash to hire a programmer to create a mobile web site for them.
The availability and proliferation of innovative and interactive tools, like the ones listed below, provides artists another venue for creative self-expression:
Mobile Pages. When it comes to content, mobile pages present limitless possibilities. Mobile pages may be used as an avenue for writing blogs, stories, poems, essays, lyrics, and even publishing reviews and critiques about the latest event and issues circulating in the art industry. Some mobile site providers even feature text-wrapping tools that enables users to insert images into their mobile pages. This allows artists to post photos of their works with titles, specifications and descriptions. Mobile pages allow artists to create their own mobile art portfolio.
Skins, Color Palettes and Themes provide artists the license to really unleash their creativity. Artists thrive in color and they use it as a means to stand out and express their personal style and individuality. Mobile site providers usually offer a wide array of colors and themes for artists to play and tinker with in the creation of their mobile web sites.
File Sharing allows artists to upload their latest works for everyone to see. Musicians may also showcase their latest originally composed singles and even create playlists of their major musical influences for their following to listen to. Photographers, painters, illustrators and designers also use this feature to build mobile portfolios that they present to potential clients wherever they may go.
Messaging Tools allow for the promotion and announcements of the latest art exhibits, musical events and concerts. Artists may easily get in touch with their target audience to inform them of the latest happenings and developments in the art industry.
Comments & Guestbook. Ever wondered what your public thinks of your works? One way to find out about how people view your work is by opening up your mobile site for comments. Feedback from fellow artists, critics and even admirers of your work through the Guestbook gives you ideas about how else you would want to improve your art works. Constructive criticism at its finest.
Forms. Artists may opt to create their own artists’ pool or communities. The Forms Tool is an effective way for artists to encourage membership. Artists’ may get their friends, patrons and following to sign up for community memberships using the Forms tool. It allows art communities to flourish in the mobile web as it enables artists to continuously update its database.
I think your web will be more beautiful when you remove the privacy in shared files.

I just joined in mobilemo but I haven’t activated yet my account in my email add. On what I read on your blog, i just want to ask what’s the difference of this site to Friendster or other social networking sites? Thanks!

Hi John!
Mobilemo’s main difference is that it is formatted primarily for viewing through the smaller screens of mobile phones and other such devices. Also, Mobilemo is more than just a social networking site. We allow you to create your own mobile pages (which you can use for any purpose, such as blogging or simply putting any content that you want); share and store files (both for public and personal viewing); create polls and forms (which most social networking sites cannot do). Best of all, it is on mobile which means that your contacts and other viewers cans see your mobile site anytime, even without access to a PC with Internet connection.
Try out and explore the features so you’ll get the hang of it and enjoy having your own mobile site.
Thanks!

Hi, John. Thanks for signing up with Mobilemo and for your great feedback. You could upgrade to Premium Membership so you can have up to 80mb file storage space. It’s only $5 a year. Aside from the increase in file storage capacity, you also get to create forms (which allows you to do more with your mobile site) and have privacy options.

Me, again, john. What if im going to changed my email address of my site, what should i do?
Comment by John — July 19, 2008 @ 12:10 am
Hi John,
Right now, you can’t change your site’s URL and the email address that you used to register. If you want a mobile site with a different address, you have to register again for a new one.

What’s wrong with mobilemo? Your new upgrade doesn’t seem fine. There Pages removed in the control panel like messaging. Before, i can access messaging in mobile version of control panel. Bt now it’s gone. I will hve to log in in beta version to use that service. One more, on uploading files. Before i can upload files tru my Phone’s gallery but now, the system doesn’t allow that. Do we have to use a Pc to upload files? It’s kinda frustrating. I thought the new mobilemo is much better than before but no. It’s much complicated and somewhat disgusting. Can you do one more upgrade to that? The site is doing quite well but with the new version, i think many will have the same sentiments like mine. Thanks

Hi. I wud like to congra2late u on making a good site like mobilemo. I hve account here. What i hve noticed since your last uPgrade is the privacy setting. It doesnt seem to work right. Once i private my guestbook, other sites will be in private too. And then when someone open it in public, my site will be in public again. It seems individually private setting is invalid. We can’t privatized each site. I hope this will help you improve more the site. Thanks and God bless you

Hi. I jst want to asked what’s the problem with regards to privacy setting. When i set my guestbook in public, all the sites will follow automatically. And when somebody’s site set his guestbook to public, my guestbook will be in public too. Why is that? Privacy is important especially on shared files with adult content. Thanks
