...and believe it or not it's actually easier to use. I found a machine that will do some tasks in batch for me on these lists and the bulb :idea: fortunately is one of those things. I like the date because we get a sense of history but we also get clutter and it's not as eye pleasing to look at either.


Which ever method has more votes when the next update is ready wins.

Score:
lightbulb 2 date 1

Lightbulb
 
If you haven't counted me already for the lightbulb (sans date), then please do!

robbym 11-25-2006 01:11 PM

Update!!! 70 new sites to be added shortly.
 
Hello everyone, I have good news I have more new links to post. Keep an eye out over the next day or so. Please enjoy the list and continue to send any links you want that are missing.

To those of you who sent me links thank you!

Rather than inform you of updates with yet another reply, does anyone know how to change the header on a sticky so that it shows up on the front page too?

Moderators: I am going to write to W3C regarding this list and request their support as part of their own Mobile Web Initiative (MWI). I figure the more Blackberry users that know about the list and this forum the better. I will do what I can to increase our communities exposure.

bhsalzer,

Thank you for your impressive contribution. They will be included in the next update. (y)

bhsalzer 12-06-2006 02:17 PM

Not a problem....it is a little hobby per se. I will keep looking. I probably have 200-300 more links to upload. I just want to cross-reference so no creating duplicates.

Any particular categories you are weak on?

onlindis 12-06-2006 09:35 PM

Adult Reference
 
When we started doing our research for BBerryOne we happened to come across a few sites that we weren't sure whether to include or not and in the end or at the least for the time being have chosen not to include.

This is the BlackBerry version of a fairly well known reference book however its content is aimed at individuals over the age of 18: www.kamawap.com

I've come across alot of questionable content in my searches too, but for the sake of good taste (and conscience) have decided to maintain the list at a PG rating for all ages and life-stations. Since the list belongs to the members, I'm going to leave it to a vote whether to include this link on the list.

Members: Are you comfortable with this link?

For those who don't already know about this historic literature, below is a blurb from Wikipedia. Be forwarned, though this is a somewhat bland academic description, the actual text gets very explicit.


Kamasutram, generally known to the Western world as Kama Sutra, is an ancient Indian text on human sexual behavior, widely considered to be the standard work on love in Sanskrit literature. The text was composed by Vatsyayana, as a brief summary of various earlier works belonging to a tradition known generically as Kama Shastra. Kama is literally desire and Sutra signifies a discourse threaded on a series of aphorisms. The text is originally known as Vatsyayana Kamasutram ("Vatsyayana's Aphorisms on Love"). Tradition holds that the author was a celibate scholar. He is believed to have lived sometime between the 1st to 6th centuries C.E., probably during the great cultural flowering of the Gupta period.

Keep it. People then can make a choice of using it or not.

MobiliKey - Another excellent mobile site
 
Under Mobile Sites - MobiliKey provides free personal mobile websites and is interactive in the sense of exchanging pictures, chat etc., all in one place easy on any mobile device.

Thought I would mention this one, it seems to have been overlooked. Also the developers have created 2 of the top 10 showcased sites on dotmobi, thats no small feet.
