Today, ActiveRain Mobile Users Got a HUGE Gift - Read it here first!

By William Johnson

Today is a Hallmark Day for those of us that like to use our iPads or other mobile devises. We now have the exact same functionality that is available on a desktop computer.

Last night for about 10 minutes, I saw the full version in my iPad before it disappeared. I wrote Bob Stewart an e-mail today and the techs from ActiveRain and Trulia had been working on getting this part of ActiveRain to function better.

Well better is no long the operative word, it is Full Functionality. It is great for us now to be able to post and make comments with full functionality of the tool bar and be able to easily add photos. I know that Margaret Rome, Cheryl Richie and many others are going to be totally jazzed when they realize everything is now the same.

I couldn't wait to be the first to make this announcement as it is totally awesome. Thanks to Bob Stewart who really came through on this request.

I guess it is Go Big or Go Home from here on out! Woo Hoo!

That is really great news for mobile users, William! We are increasingly becoming untethered from our desktop computers, so this is the right direction for ActiveRain to be going!

I'm still limited on Android. But I don't blame that on Trulia/ActiveRain. I blame that on Google/Android.

I don't have an iPad, so I was not aware of this change. However, this is good news for those that already have iPads, as well as those that like to use their smart phones.
