Thanks for the feedback, Lukasz.

For clients that can afford it and have a legitimate business reason, I recommend creating a mobile friendly version of their website. But the reality is many small business clients wont pay for it.

After experimenting with a number of plugins for popular Content Management Systems (CMS), I've noticed that they don't usually create a delightful mobile browsing experience without extensive customization.

Ultimately, each business needs to evaluate what their prospect uses and determine how to provide the ideal web experience in the prospect's desired medium.

Linkedin has passed 100 million members (announced 3/22/2011). 44% within the U.S.

"The height of LinkedIn activity happens during the workday, peaking at around noon. Mobile usage, on the other hand, typically peaks around 8:00 p.m."

Thanks, Bhak. I appreciate that you took the time to read through it.

We had a good turnout. There was a lot of discussion in the first half hour about privacy and platform issues. The second half was about apps. Here's the list. Unfortunately we didn't record this session so you wont benefit from all the narration around each app ...and how it can be useful. Enjoy...

Build your own app resources to create your own app for your phone: http://www.readwriteweb.com/mobile/2010/12/30-plu...

These resources are only a suggestion. You need to evaluate what's right for your needs. As discussed during the presentation, by downloading and activating apps on your mobile phone/device/computer, you may unintentionally expose personal information to the developer of the application. So you'll need to decide if you are willing to accept that risk.

Thanks Levi for the suggestion... I'll check out Simplenote.

Several other people have said to me that Evernote is complex and I'm not sure why. I love it because I can sync the same data conveniently across 4 computers/devices. If I don't want to install the software, I can still access via a web browser. Here's some details about how I use Evernote: http://www.reinhartmarketing.com/news/evernote/

Hi Pete, The medicine we received cleared it up very quickly -- less than a week. My son didn't seem phased at all by the experience. Thanks for asking. -R

Thanks for the comment, Elizabeth. Sounds like a good business opportunity for you or someone to compile and share/market niche lists of mobile websites.

I periodically update http://m.chaos365.com -- If you have a list of link suggestions, please post them here in the comments and I may add them for the community to use.

Thank you.

Awesome feedback Pete. Thanks for inspiring and keeping me motivated.

Thanks for the feedback, Pete.

I've noticed that as I've been doing more and more business networking, many conversations ultimately steer into talking about kids and family challenges, and the affects on professional life. It simply can't be partitioned and ignored.

Keep up the great work you are doing for dads in Australia.
