So… I guess the big question is whether there is any desire on the part of Mike and the other programmers to design a parallel system for Farktography and Photoshop contests that would have a laptop/desktop version with full-size images and a mobile version with reduced-size images, wherein the voting all goes to one place. I was originally going to ask if it was possible, but I am quite certain it is, these days.
I’m sure a part of the reduced traffic is a need to watch the amount of megabyte usage. I’ve got students who will text the shit out of their phones, but refuse to make any sort of phone call that isn’t due to emergency, because they don’t want to run out of minutes. Same principle.
Just wonderin’
The short answer for the first question is Yes. It’s no surprize that Drew keeps tweeking Fark, he’s going to keep tweeking it to suit his audience.
I assume the same thing for mobile device usage. Don’t forget there are a lot of Canadian Farkers, we don’t have nearly the freedom with cellphones that you (Americans) do. We have low bandwidth limits on cellphones and we pay through the nose for extra MBs (yes, MBs, not GBs). My other assumption was that it’s really hard to see the detail in a pic on a tiny screen, so why bother.
