It has been a long time since I’ve reminded you of a great way to keep up with AgWired via your mobile phone. Besides the fact that AgWired is mobile phone browser friendly (it knows what kind of phone you use!) you can put that unlimited text plan to good use with AgWired Mobile. Sign up for free and get a text when we do a new post.
Messages will contain the title of the story and a link directly to it if you’d like to click through and read it right on your phone. It will keep you agricultural marketing professionals on top of your game. Sign up now:
Just text “agwired” to 46786
That’s it. You’ll get confirmation immediately and then you’ll get AgWired updates automatically. News will be sent between 8am-8pm.
If you ever want to unsubscribe (why would you?) then just text “agwired stop” to the same number.
AgWired Mobile is powered by (thank you Joel Jaeger):
The mobile browser version of AgWired is now live. This means that if you open AgWired.com on your mobile phone you’ll get a very simple version of the website automatically. You can see what it looks like on an iPhone below and I’ve also tested it on a Blackberry. There’s no special “mobile version url” that you need to know either. Many companies have built special “phone friendly” versions of their websites but they usually require you to know a different url and they don’t necessarily offer as much functionality as this.
It functions much like a feed reader if you’re familiar with them (and I hope you are). You’ll see a list of all the posts and pages on the AgWired homepage. It will show you their title and link to them. When you go to a post you’ll see the title, the text and the photos we have posted and the comment form if you’d like to post a comment. At the bottom of the page if you scroll down is a link to take you to your phone’s “regular” version of the website. This is handy on an iPhone which has a full fledged browser if you’d like to see the page in normal view. You can click back and forth easily.
So, AgWired now loads fast on your phone and is very easy to read and use! It’s one more reason you might want to subscribe to Agwired Mobile, our text message service that delivers you a text message each time we do a post on AgWired (except during 8pm-8am central time). Visitors to the phone browser will be getting there from AgWired Mobile, our Twitter feed if they have a Twitter app on their phone, from their phone’s rss reader and by going to the site directly. I think we’ll have a lot of folks visiting and seeing the mobile version. Interested in sponsoring it? Contact Dave Larson now.
We’ll be implementing this mobile browser version on DomesticFuel.com, PrecisionPays.com and WorldDairyDiary.com by tomorrow as well.
We’re making a major change to our AgWired Mobile service starting today. As many of you who have subscribed know, we’ve been sending custom text messages via AgWired Mobile when we see important information that we believe you’d be interested in knowing. Feedback has been great. However, we found that most of what we posted via AgWired Mobile was also being posted on AgWired which was a real duplication of effort.
With the help of Commodity Update’s Joel Jaeger, we built a way to direct the AgWired feed to our mobile text service so subscribers will now receive texts for each post on AgWired containing the post title and link to the post. We’ve set it up to only send texts between 8am and 8pm central time since you know that we do some late night posts. We won’t be waking you up with texts in the middle of the night!
In addition to this announcement we’re also implementing a mobile phone web browser version of AgWired and all the ZimmComm News Network sites that include Domestic Fuel.com, Precision Pays.com and World Dairy Diary.com. We hope to have that implemented very soon. Then when you get your AgWired Mobile text on your phone the link will take you to a very simple text only version of the post/website. Now how’s that for some new innovation?
To sign up for AgWired Mobile all you have to do is text the word agwired to 46786 and you will get your AgWired news fresh and conveniently wherever you are. Don’t wind up wishing you had seen a story but didn’t have the time or ability to check online.
Now you can keep up to date immediately with the stories posted on AgWired with our text messaging version.
