This isn’t so much a blog post as a call to arms… Mobile browsers of the world unite!
There should be a list somewhere that names and shames people who do this, maybe pressure them into not doing it. Some fairly high profile sites do it, I noticed life hacker doing it this morning for example.
It’s about time people browsing the internet on mobile phones stopped being treated like second class citizens, we are the future etcetera…
Mumble mumble [Insert irate and thought provoking rant here].

See I thought this was a great visualisation of how HTTP is a stateless protocol.
Ok and badly made websites…
Fair point…
I have just commissioned some mobile sites and this was at the top of my list of “things not to do”.
Just though I’d point out that LifeHacker seem to be doing it for older articles too – every time I click on a link in Google I get bumped back to the home page. Most annoying.
