Mobilize any web page with Google Reader
A while back we looked at MoFuse, a free service that strips away all of the unnecessary content on any site and gives you a mobile version optimized for small screens and low bandwidth internet connections. But you can achieve the same results using Google Reader.
All you have to do is add an RSS feed to the end of this URL: http://www.google.com/reader/m/view/feed/. For example, http://www.google.com/reader/m/view/feed/http://www.downloadsquad.com/category/social-software/rss.xml will bring up a basic page with a list of Download Squad stories about social software. For some reason our main RSS feed doesn't seem to work, so this solution doesn't appear to be one size fits all. But it only takes a few seconds to find out if your site's feed will work. If it does, you can give your blog visitors easy access to a mobile version of your page, or you can create a series of bookmarks for your favorite web sites on your mobile phone.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.

MoFuse lets users customize their mobile site so it's not a plain white-black text site. Your mobile site will also NOT be branded with the Google logo, you can keep and enhance your brand when you use MoFuse as opposed to a solution like this.
That's our whole concept, empowering content publishers on the mobile web -- not letting others, like Google control it for you.
