Voice on the Go

Published: Tuesday, June 19, 2007 5:09 PM PDT



For those of you with mobile Internet, you can now browse our site a lot easier. If you log on to voiceofsandiego.org from your web-capable phone or PDA, it should just take you right to our easier-to-digest homepage. If, for some reason, it takes you to the top left corner of our homepage, just look for the link to "Mobile."

I always joked that the one bad thing about being an online-only news source is that -- unlike newspapers -- it's more difficult for people to read us in the bathroom. Now, I suppose, I might have to find a new joke.

Our gratitude for the innovation goes to the young savant Vladimir Kogan.

Let us know what you think. Every day we do something to make the site better.

-- SCOTT LEWIS

you guys have got to get more content. I realize you are a not-for-profit enterprise, and you all are very busy, but you really need to post earlier and more often to keep up with your contemporaries in the medium. My two cents.

Ditto. I couldn't care less about mobile as long as I have to look at the same stale content for days.

I would like to be able to comment on items in "this just in".

Now Scott, as the Voice's voice of reason, I ask you to get the overzealous censor who passes on "Comments" to ease up on the over-censorship of some of my posts -- none, absolutely NONE, of which contain any obscenities, vulgarities, undue personal attacks against any one person, calls into question of parentage, or any other violation of the Voice rules regarding comments. As a matter of fact, some of the other posters are verbally bashing the heck out of each other. They get posted without problem. My comments referring to the San Diego City Council, more likely than not, end up in the trash can. Yes, I may use the words nitwit, boob or cretin, but they are directed at a group, not individuals. How about it? Would you lean a little on someone for me? Please?

Edgar, If you call a specific person or group of people "boobs" or "nitwits," we'll cut it. I think you'd be more successful articulating why you disagree with them than calling them names anyway.

You asked, and I answer: the mobile version is fantastic! Thank you thank you thank you! I do about 10% of my web browsing through my Treo, and I really wish the rest of the web would follow your example. (Or at least put their enormous nav bars on the right, where the content isn't delayed while the moble-useless nav bar loads.) Not so sure about reading in the bathroom, however. . . .

The next, logical, technical progression of your site! Plus, by being able to use our own PDAs or web-enabled handheld devices, we can comment without worrying about the 'higher ups' at our places of employment reading our non-business-related emails to 'Voice'!!! lol!!!

Lets see now, I have been called Slimeball, coward, scum....hmmmm...what else....those comments never got cut... ..... ...but it does not bother me, I dish it out. If you dish it out you have to have a thick skin for the bounce back.... ....I don't mind people calling me Mike Aguirre or Bruce Henderson, those guys are OK in my book.

I've been called a "liar" -- several times -- and I must say several people with whom I disagree disputed that. Thanks. Nevertheless, I'm with BBH, it doesn't bother me. Another thing, Scott, you are making an unwarranted assumption -- that I did not articulate why I disagree with the ...(ahem) ... city council. I most certainly did. But, have it your way. Ray and Fine Idea got it right. Beef up the content and quit worrying about whether you'll get in trouble with eight city coucilmen and women.

Edgar, you are absolutely right. I have NEVER seen you bash an individual as I have. My bashing however is on the truthfulness of the individuals posts. Henderson for example babbles and blathers on and on about the pension and throws out false statements to make his post more attractive to those that do no research. You on the other hand are intelligent, and back (most) of what you post with either facts or logical theories, which by the way I disagree with more often than not. Scott, ease up!
