Now you can take your genealogy news with you. You can read the latest news on your lunch hour, at the park, when riding the commuter train, while waiting at the airport, or at most any other convenient time and place. All you need is a web-enabled cell phone or an iPod Touch.
Actually, there are many ways to read this newsletter with cell phone web browsers or RSS newsreaders. Today I added one more method, and it is one that is easy to use. Open the web browser on your cell phone and go to http://eogn.com/mobile. Bookmark that URL in your cell phone's web browser, and you will be able to return to that address time and time again.
If you ever lose that URL, use a normal web browser on your desktop or laptop computer, go to this newsletter's web site at http://www.eogn.com, and look in the upper right corner at "MOBILE NEWSLETTER - Get Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter on your mobile phone." That will show the link.
That link will redirect you to http://mippin.com/mippin72224, an online service that reads the latest content from this newsletter and reformats it to display properly on your cell phone's tiny screen. It works well on most all web-enabled cell phones, including Blackberry and iPhone devices.
You can also read the comments posted at the end of an article, if any. In addition, the mippin service lets you forward articles from your cell phone to any contact stored in that phone's address book or to Twitter or to any e-mail address. You can even send articles to your own home e-mail address to save for later use.
Enjoy!
