Bookmarks speed you through our mobile web site
One of our readers who's now using our mobile web site on his cell phone said that the process sped up quite a bit once he figured out how to bookmark the screens he regularly visits. In his case, the main screen is the commodity listings for cotton, rice, soybeans, corn and wheat.
He is using Opera Mini, a free cell phone browser that we also added to our cell phones. Opera Mini allows the user to add up to 9 bookmarks on the opening screen - equivalent to a home page on a regular web browser. Hit the star (*) key, plus the corresponding number for the bookmarked screen, and you can bypass our mobile web site's main menu (and maybe a sub menu) and go straight to the screen you want.
We were aware of the bookmark feature but hadn't really tuned into it until today. We bookmarked the commodity quotes screen in Opera Mini, and that saved us going through 2 additional screens.
If you haven't been on our mobile site yet, point your cell phone's browser to agfax.com/m (think "m" for "mobile"). Along with CBOT grains and livestock contracts, we're posting pre-open, mid-day and closing commentaries for grains and livestock, plus closing commentaries for cotton and rough rice.
The pages are streamlined for quick mobile access, and we're not requring that you register and remember a user ID or password. The only charge will be whatever your cell phone carrier assesses for internet time (and some plans include web access at no extra charge).
Let us know what you think.
