Hello, world and all that

[anildash]

I just got this lj2me mobile client for my phone and I have to admit, I'm kinda diggin it for updating my LJ. I need this kinda thing for my Vox and Twitter, too -- why do these things have different APIs again?

If your phone's a Nokia, there's a special Vox upload option. (Or do what I do and use the email post option. That's pretty API-free.) Also, why would you want something other than SMS for Twitter?

[anildash]

Yeah, I have a Blackberry, so no go. I want a client for stuff like reading my LJ friends page/Twitter stream. That's as interesting to me as updating.

Hmm. For the public LJ stuff and Twitter, have you tried Yahoo Pipes?

I can't see any way round reading a Lynx LJ feed for protected friends page content*, although if any passing commenters have an idea, there's a pint in it for you.

*wah, I wish OpenID did this.
