MoFuse website mobilizer kills Pro accounts, offer Pro features to all

MoFuse ProMoFuse is a service that makes a mobile version of any web site in just a few seconds. We first covered MoFuse last year, when the company was offering a two-tiered service. But last week MoFuse decided to do away with pro accounts and offer all the features to free account holders.

So what do you get with a free account now? You can still create free mobile web pages with URLs ending in .mofuse.mobi (for example, downloadsquad.mofuse.mobi). But you can also use a custom domain, use your own logo in an SMS widget, create up to 5 different mobile sites with one account, and receive up to 50 free SMS messages a month.

MoFuse allows users to place ads on their mobile web sites. Previously free account holders split the revenue from those ads with MoFuse while paid account holders would retain 100% of any revenue generated. If you previously signed up for a paid account, you will no longer be billed, but you will also get to keep 100% of your revenue, while all new MoFuse users will have to share their profits with the company.

MoFuse: Mobilize your website in 60 seconds

MobiFuse
Ever run across a website that just looks like crap on a mobile web browser? Download Squad is optimized for viewing on a small screen, but many web sites aren't. Sure, you could spend a lot of time tweaking a site's style sheet, but there's an easier way.

MoFuse lets you make a mobile version of pretty much any site. The entire process basically boils down to:
  1. Create an account
  2. Name your site
  3. Enter the RSS feed
  4. Tweak if you like
In other words, it takes about a minute to create a custom, mobile version of any web site. While the service is great for web publishers (WordPress users can even add auto-redirect tags to their site so that users on mobile browsers will be sent to the MoFuse version), you can also use it to make mobile versions of websites that you don't own. Tired of struggling to read your favorite site on your Treo? Just mobilize it.

But there's one potential problem with that last part. MoFuse also lets you monetize mobile sites by placing AdSense or AdMob content on mobile pages. If you're placing advertising on your own site, that's great. But if you're putting ads on a site registered to someone else and then publicizing and profiting from the feed? Well, that could cause some legal issues, don't you think?

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
