haiku notes

News from the haiku world

tinywords for iMode: tinywords author Norman Darlington of eirmode Mobile Internet Solutions in Ireland built this way-cool iMode version of tinywords. It delivers a randomly-selected haiku from the tinywords archive, with the option to view the current day's haiku -- and you can click to get author details on any of the haiku displayed. I think it's a great adaptation of tinywords to the cell phone medium: It's fun, lightweight, and easy to use. And there's something about getting haiku at random that I like a lot. The fact that you never know which one will appear, and the fact that it shows just one haiku at a time, really seems to focus the attention on the haiku in themselves.

If you've got an I-Mode cell phone, access tinywords at this URL: http://eirmode.com/tw/

And check out eirmode Mobile Internet Solutions for more iMode applications and to find out about eirmode's mobile internet design and implementation services. Norman was very kind to built this app for tinywords and worked closely with me to make sure it reflected tinywords' spirit and substance. Thank you, Norman!
