Quick Tip for Mobile Sites
Be Careful About Text Overload

Too much text can make for a very bad experience on the small screen. Think about your readers and try to consider that you really don’t want them to scroll more than 3 times on the tiny screen, if possible. Since you can’t be exactly sure what that means for each of the over 5,000 devices out there that could be accessing your site, just consider keeping text to a minimum. Also a lot of text will mean longer load times for mobile – which may frustrate your users too!

Q: Just How Big Is the Mobile Web?
A: Big, and getting much, much bigger.

Worldwide, Juniper predicts there will be 1.7 billion mobile web users by 2013. In the US alone, there are 63 million mobile Web users today. Add a projected growth rate of 60% over the next two years, and well, the mobile web is very, very big. In May comScore released a study that showed mobile users (in the US) are accessing the Mobile web 35.3% of the time, compared to 37% for voice and 27.7% for SMS. Just this month, IPG’s Universal McCann and AOL released some compelling new data based on their poll of 1,800 mobile users between October 2008 and March 2009. The data reinforces how smart-phone users are using their devices. Here are some interesting data points:

* 1 out of every 7 minutes of media consumption takes place via mobile device
* 19 MM mobile web users access the internet on a weekly basis. This represents about 1/3 of all mobile web users.
* 73% of all mobile web users search for maps and directions

Maybe this means it’s time to add that Google map or a Content Page with directions to your MoFuse for Business site.
