Despite all of the hype surrounding the mobile-web, browsing from your smartphone still has its challenges… it’s difficult to navigate, it’s nearly impossible to ‘discover’ cool new content, and it’s costly (most of us still have expensive data plans). To make matters worse, the mobile browser demands prolonged waiting times and often returns pages or websites not formatted for the device.
In our June 12th Mashable Rocks post, we blogged about Viigo - a mobile software company that has figured out how to overcome these hurdles, delivering an exceptionally fast (and data-light) mobile internet experience to your smartphone… and best of all, it’s FREE.
Today we’re officially launching Mashable’s mobile solution, powered by Viigo. It’s a Mashable-branded custom version of Viigo, pre-loaded with Mashable News, Marketplace, Invites, our Twitter feed, feeds from Adam Ostrow, Kristen Nicole, Sean P. Aune, Mark “Rizzn” Hopkins, and more!
Head over to http://viigo.com/mashable from your web browser for download instructions, or mobile browse to http://getviigo.com/mashable for an immediate OTA download.
Viigo has an extensive list of cool social features: Share or send articles to friends through email, make posts directly to del.ici.ous, invite a friend, or have your device alert you anytime your ‘keywords’ are mentioned in a Mashable post.
Viigo’s Channel Library showcases content from over 5,000 of the coolest and most popular websites, providing you with ‘one-click’ discoverability. You can add and remove any content you want (even content that’s not found in the Channel Library). Personalize your Viigo!
