Looking for recommendations - Web editors for Kids

Friday October 10, 2008
Before you ask, no this isn't for my son - being only 6 months old, he's not ready to write his own Web page. :-) I'm curious what Web editors there are for children. The only one I could find that was specifically written for kids was HotDog Junior from Sausage.com. Do you know of any others? If not, which ones do you think are best suited for kids, and why? I'd love to hear your thoughts on what makes an editor good for children, especially young children, say grade school aged (under 13 years old). Thanks!

Poll: Should companies provide automatic websites for mobile devices?

Thursday October 9, 2008
I got a new iPod touch a week or so ago, and have been browsing to many of my favorite sites with it. One thing that a lot of sites do is detect that I'm on a mobile device (and sometimes specifically an iPhone or iPod Touch) and send me to the mobile version of the page. At first, I really liked this, as it made the pages easier to read without zooming. But what I quickly realized is that many sites provide a crippled version of their pages to mobile users. For instance, Twitter doesn't seem to provide a way to follow someone when you view their page in mobile mode (if they do, I couldn't find it) (update: when I viewed the mobile page in my full-screen monitor, I found the follow link, I wonder why I can't find it in the mobile browser) and Gizmodo only shows the top three articles and summaries rather than the full content. In any event, I find myself switching to the non-mobile version of the pages more often than not, simply to get the interface I'm used to. So, what do you think, should companies provide these alternate pages?
