Profy Gets a Mobile Version

I am really pleased to announce today that we are now able to provide our readers with a mobile reading experience. I know for sure that a good number of our readers are heavy mobile users and we have been approached a number of times by some of the readers asking to launch some mobile-friendly version of Profy.

After we reported on FeedM8 impressive progress we have decided to use their service to create a mobile version for the Profy feed. FeedM8 is a mobile analogue of the Feedburner service. Basically, they create a mobile-friendly version of any RSS feed and provide a unique URL any cell phone user can use with their mobile browsers to reach the feed of the blog.

Within the first month of their work FeedM8 added over 1,000 feeds to their directory - currently they are mobile feed providers for such prominent news sources as The New York Times and Reuters. They also offer support to a large number of bloggers, including Engadget, Mashable, and now Profy. So to read Profy on your cell phone you can either use the link http://feedm8.com/profycom to go directly to the newest posts or you can have FeedM8 send you the link by SMS to avoid typing it. The only limitation is that they can only send SMS to users from North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Israel.

I personally like how FeedM8 Profy version looks like on my cell phone (see the photo below), it is easily customized and the reading experience is great - browsing the new posts is easy and individual posts are opened almost instantly. So go ahead, see it for yourself and do not forget to add Profy to your mobile browser favorites.
