For many of us it is just coming alive. Given the speed at which these devices are evolving and price dropping, I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s worth people\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s time to build sofware that optimizes the experience. Rather, they should use their expertise to build <a href=\"http:\/\/www.techcrunch.com\/2008\/04\/09\/i-saw-the-future-of-social-networking-the-other-day\/\">exciting new applications<\/a> that will run directly on these new platforms.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.techcrunch.com\/2008\/04\/15\/mowser-founder-says-mobile-web-is-dead-its-the-opposite\/\">The mobile Web was born only yesterday<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That&#8217;s the difference between twitter and Jaiku. Twitter is an old fashioned website and application that requires data heavy websites to provide you with content whilst jaiku offers a mobile phone that requires minimum data transfer from server to phone<\/p>\n<p>Another big difference is the api. With jaiku you can download all messages without needing an api&#8217;s permission. That means you can get all messages. With twitter you need to be patient. Tha api only allows sixty requests per hour&#8230; That&#8217;s one a minute. With something instant that&#8217;s stifling the conversation<\/p>\n<p>Over a month of using twitter on the mobile phone I would count 300 kilobytes or more per refresh whilst with Jaiku I require just 15 megabytes of data transfer over a month to follow the conversation. As a result I much prefer the forward looking attitude that Jaiku have taken. There&#8217;s just one drawback, the community is smaller.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> &lt; 1<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minute<\/span><\/span>So I disagree that The Mobile Web is dead.
