Mobile Personalization w/ SJMWednesday, October 10, 12

@kanec & @iamthebunda Mobile Websites: Key takeaways

Mobile sites are foundation of mobile strategy

App-like experience: Tailored UX will drive higher adoption than mobile apps right now

Smartphones = flexibility: Touch screens, custom interactions, javascript, great UX

Don’t forget the basic HTML & feature phones

More than a landing page. Integrate jobs & events, inside-info, multimedia and tie to ‘wired web’, interview pages, recruiter pages, and more.
