An alternative is to use services that adapt blogs and other feeds to view on mobile phones. Two such services worth looking at are Kaywa's Feed2Mobile service (in beta) and Winksite. What makes these services interesting is they are examples of mobile web 2.0 mashups, where web content is automatically repurposed for mobile consumption. Such tools make it almost trivial to mobilize one's blog. And they provide nifty mobile hyperlinks to make the mobilized blog easily accessible from camera phones with the right scanner software.

I first learned about Feed2Mobile from this interesting video by Elektrischer Reporter. The service provides a specially adapted version of RSS feeds for viewing on mobile phones. The mobilized feed is browser-based and looks much better on the phone than one would likely experience with a standard text-based reader. Even cooler, though, Feed2Mobile generates a QR code, a mobile hyperlink enabling users to set up the feed on their phone without having to type a URL on the phone's keypad and otherwise navigate the phone's menu system to configure the blog. To use the mobile hyperlink, user's scan the code using their phone's camera.
