Mobile Commenting Has Gone Live!

by Christopher Gates on Jul 7, 2009 5:56 PM CDT in Site Stuff

Have you ever found yourself torn between heading out to the local fine drinking establishment with your buddies to watch the Beloved Purple and staying at home so you can absorb all the wit and insight of the game threads here at The Daily Norseman while staying at home?

If you have. . .~~re-examine your priorities~~ have I got a deal for you!

Now, thanks to the incomparable SBNation tech team, the ability to comment on the go has been opened up to everybody SBNation wide! Yes, you can now log onto your Daily Norseman account from your mobile phone or other mobile device and add in comments any time you please.

You can comment from the bar.
You can comment from a car.*
You can comment from the club.
You can comment in the tub.

You can comment from the beach.
You can comment during a speech.
You can comment from your chair.
You can comment from anywhere!

Now, I haven't actually tested this myself, since I'm lame and am still stuck with a really awful flip phone. . .shut up, I'll upgrade eventually. . .but it looks like a couple of our commenters have, and word from around SBNation is that it's going quite well thus far. If you experience any problems with it, drop the SBNation tech team an e-mail at support@sbnation.com and let them know a) what kind of phone you have, b) what browser you're using, and c) a detailed description of your problem.

I hope all of you that have the capability to do so take full advantage of this. Leave some comments and let us know how it goes!

* - But for the love of everything, please, please, PLEASE don't comment. . .or text at all, really. . .while you're driving. It annoys the crap out of me and everybody else on the road, and it's a good way to get yourself into an accident. Seriously, people.

thanks again

Ever since I upgraded my phone I started visiting the daily norseman an extra 20 times per day and now I can comment frequently and share my passion for the purple, it gets kind of lonely being the only Viking fan I now

Excuse me, know. And thanks for adding the don’t text wile driving comment, gonzo. It hits a nerve with me too. It also bothers me when women put make up on while driving.

First time commenter, been coming here for quite some time. Commenting via cell phone probably guaranteed that I won’t be getting anything done ay work anymore.

Don’t own a cell phone :(

In a perfect world

I wouldn’t have one, either.

Stupid necessary evil.

Agreed.

I needed one for my last job, but now I don’t need it; however, I don’t think I couldn’t have one now. Bah. One instance of technology I could live without.

Don’t worry, my cellphone isn’t exactly a Blackberry either.

It works from Kuwait

I don’t use my Blackberry much for calling over here (it is too expensive) but for keeping intouch with what is happening at the Daily Norseman and the rest of the Vikings blogosphere, this thing is great!

Learning to type with only your thumbs takes a little time to get used to. :-)

It may take a village to raise a child, but it takes a Viking to raze a village.

I see this as the pinnacle of technological advancement.

If I could go back in time to the 1800’s, this is the technology I would showcase.

Flaming while pooping has a whole new meaning.

just make sure your comments aren't crap

Gonzo and Co. Have worked so hard to give this blog a good reputation. It would be a shame if you soiled that with one comment. :-P

by DelawareBerserker on Jul 8, 2009 11:01 AM CDT via mobile up reply actions

now that was impressive.

by iseepurplepeople on Jul 8, 2009 1:21 PM CDT up reply actions

I always thought...

that the only reason comments are allowed is to sully a blogs reputation? WHAT ELSE ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO IF WE CAN’T POST CRAP!!?!?!

WHYYYYYYY!?!!!

by thisguyzig on Jul 8, 2009 8:20 PM CDT up reply actions

Woot!

I check DN no less than 15 times per day using my crackberry. And I am THRILLED we can finally comment now.

Although, come Pre-season I’ll be right on my computer following along, and posting my comments the “old fashioned way”, all while trying to ping a live feed of the game for free, because well… Can’t do that on the phone yet.

This is the best news to come out since Percy Harvin, Woot SBNation Tech team!!!

Oh, and to all the newer bloggers (since offseason started) that I haven’t welcomed- you guys are awesome and I love your material.

DN has been, is, and will remain the top Vikings blog due to your contributions. Now it is the most fan-friendly blog too! (So freaking pumped!)
