Mobile Commenting Now Available On Behind The Steel Curtain

by Michael Bean on Jul 7, 2009 2:02 PM EDT

Ask and you shall receive. Or so it seems when it comes to the tech team behind the scenes at SB Nation. The evolution of the platform that powers this site and others across our network never seems to slow down and the latest feature is one that many of you have been clamoring for for quite some time - mobile commenting. Here's the skinny:

We are always working to evolve our platform here at SB Nation and we have two exciting new features to announce this morning: Mobile Commenting and the ability to retweet posts that you find interesting.

We are very excited to introduce mobile commenting to the platform. You can now sign in to each blog you are a member of and comment in GameThreads from the game or the bar or participate in an interesting discussion happening on a blog from anywhere with your phone.

There are two things to note in this release of mobile commenting. First, mobile login is not network wide. You must sign into each community individually. Second, we did some cross browser testing with as many phones as possible, but we cannot test each phone. If you have any issues with mobile commenting please let us know at support@sbnation.com or using the contact form at the bottom of each page in the network. Please be sure to provide your phone model and browser type along with a very detailed description of the problem in your email.

We are also very excited about the new retweeting feature. If you see a post that you find interesting and want to share it via twitter, now you can with just one click rather than copying and pasting the link.

We're excited to see how you use the new features!

Swell timing if you ask me, as I hope that a number of you will be able to provide updates via your mobile on the day(s) that you are able to make it to Latrobe during the 2009 version of Pittsburgh Steelers Training Camp.

Cheers.

yea, it only is possible if the story author clicks that in the first place

Myself, ‘Rose, DYMS will all huddle and start doing that collectively so that those of you who use Twitter can use the feature if you’d like. Thanks.

Okay.

Looks like it can’t be done on fanposts or fanshots. I tried creating a new one and didn’t see an option to enable the tweet feature. I see where I can tweet it as I post it, but that’s all.

woohoo!

there have been plenty of times where I was looking to comment via the mobile. I’m not going to be traveling to camp unfortunately, but this is good stuff nonetheless. SB Nation never ceases to impress.

I can tell you now….the palm pre has no issues posting!!! ; )

The very existence of flamethrowers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."
