Tech: MudPosts from Fones: Haz U?

Hardi bought me a new phone so I wanted to see what it can do online, and I posted to a Mudcat thread from it. Now that I think of it, a lot of the spammy stuff that gets deleted looks like fone-emanations-- the all-lowercaps thing is how we reckanize FreeCycle posts as having come from computerless fone-posters who lack land lines and ISP fees.

Have you ever posted to Mudcat via phone?

(I didn't like it, so I'm getting rid of that service on my phone. Screen way too small, even biggified.)

I don't use phone-like thing for internet/WWW, since I am usually at home. I suppose I could sometime....but it costs more, and I am on the pay-as-you-go plan.

But unless you got a weird one, there's no reason to stay in lowercase. There's always some way to enter UPPERCASE.

Not a help request: But unless you got a weird one, there's no reason to stay in lowercase. There's always some way to enter UPPERCASE.

I was referring to what people DO, not what they COULD do with a little (more) thought. Kids who text often go all l/c.

Amos-- do that before, or via thread title/idea?

I have occasionally used my Blackberry Storm. It has internet access and I can post to Mudcat OK but I find it clumsy and it is only useful for short messages. I have more than once lost a complete and fairly lengthy reply by "hitting" the wrong key so I don't do it any longer. Twitter is not too bad, but I don't Tweet very often.

I have posted here a couple of times from my iPhone when on the road. At home or in the office it is too much easier to use a full-scale desktop machine.

Yes, fairly regularly, for short posts. Anything requiring a longer post, cutting/pasting or link-making I leave til I have access to a full keyboard.
