Matt 1,049 Report post Posted October 3, 2007 I just wanted to gauge interest in a version of LetsGoWings.com that would be compatible with your mobile device (phone, PDA, etc.). How often do you access the web via your mobile phone, smartphone or PDA? Would you use LGW.com's if it's available? The reason I ask is that I'm working on additions to LGW's new core functionality on the new site and I think this feature would be great for the site -- but integration and testing may delay the release of the new site by a few days. (Fine-tuning things now. As long as there aren't host-hangups, CSs will get to try to "break it" and then it goes live.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt 1,049 Report post Posted October 3, 2007 I just use my mobile to check scores of games. I don't think I would use it to browse the forums too much. Wouldn't be for the forums (at this point), but for the news & blog entries (the rest of the site WILL actually be updated frequently!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lfd250 1 Report post Posted October 3, 2007 If you could do a page to peoples phone say with scores and who scored that would be great. Ex: Wings score 1-0 Draper from Maltby & Cleary End of First Wings 1 Ducks 0 Start of Second... and so on oh and inj too. Last year we were at the game and couldn't tell who got inj, but I'm sure people watching knew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evilmrt 636 Report post Posted October 3, 2007 Yeah, this is a cool idea. I frequently use the internet on my Moto Q. Would you set it up as an RSS or what? Yahoo to Go supports that very well, and I'd like to use it like that if possible. Or what exactly did you have in mind? http://mobile.yahoo.com/go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope to get an iPhone when the second generation comes out so it won't matter to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wingsnut25 10 Report post Posted October 3, 2007 I use my phone for internet very rarely, but it is a quickly growing trend. It would probably be easier to set up now then to go back and add it later, and then stuck with old entries that are not compliant with the mobile stuf. I bought a smartphone with a very large screen to try to make things like web browsing easier, but it is still a pain on a 2.5" screen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Son of a Wing 1,644 Report post Posted October 3, 2007 If it is just going to be for scores though what is the point? There are already many services for mobile phones that provide hockey scores. If you could offer more than just scores though, like up to date links to other articles available via a mobile device or something else unique than I think it could be worth it. I'm just not sure enough people would use it to make it worth while. Only way to find out though is to give it a shot. I say go for it. No harm in delaying the new site a little while.

Lollipop 8 Report post Posted October 3, 2007 I try to use the site on my phone a lot, but the format is really screwed up on it. ;p An LGW mobile feature would be great! I'm always in class, so it'd be cool to be able to tune into the site while I'm on campus. (Wow, I need to change my signature and avatar!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted October 3, 2007 If it would great to have an LGW.com Mobile for both scores and blogs. I would use both very frequently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CdnWingsFanEh 2 Report post Posted October 4, 2007 I kind of doubt I would use that feature, but that's more b/c I rarely use the internet from my phone. Like someone posted earlier, it would be great for scores (and goal scorers) but that's about it for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
