| Website | |
| Wampad site number or Domain name | |
| If you entered "keyword" you will get a list that will let you go to a number of different sites based on "keyword". The options include m.keyword.com, keyword.mobi and both transcoded and raw versions of the .com, .org and .net equivalent. I will be opening up the ability for you to register a number and put a little graphic on your website. This graphic will let others take the number displayed, enter it into Wampad to be transfered to your website site. | |
| Search | |
| Search query | |
| Just enter anything and Wampad will give you the option to check that query against Google, Yahoo or MSN. So if you don't get the results you want with Google you can hit back and see if MSN will give you what you need. | |
| News | |
| Nothing or Search Query | |
| This option also gives you a multi-engine option. If you don't enter anything you will be able to access the main page of the available news sites. If you do enter something each link will submit your query to the available news sites search engine to return the news your looking for. | |
| Shopping | |
| UPC Code or Search Query | |
| Another multi-engine page will be displayed after you hit go. All engines linked off this page understand UPC codes. This will allow for a more accurate match especially if your at a store and you want to see if there's a better deal on that 50" plasma online. If you don't have a UPC code handy you could just enter in any old search phrase like "ipod" or "50 plasma". | |
| Profile | |
| This is a future enhancement to show a little bit of what's coming to Wampad. Wampad will eventually allow you to create a login and with that the ability to make a public profile. With this Profile you will be able to add links to your information online like you myspace page, flickr site or just about anything else. This profile gives your friends that ability to visit one place and be able to get to all that you are online, that is if you choose to link it. Another great advantage is that as online communities change you can just relink. So if you decide to move to MSN Spaces from Myspace but you couldn't get the same username, your friends wont be lost if you link up the new site with your Wampad profile. You'll also be able to set links as either private or public. Private will only be seen by users you've set as your friends and Public by anyone. | |
| Stocks | |
| Stock Symbol | |
| By entering in a stock symbol you'll be taken to Yahoo Finance. If there's demand I'll add a multi-engine page, but Yahoo Finance seems to work well. | |
| IMDB | |
| Movie/TV Title, Actor | |
| Enter in anything to query the IMDB like you would from your desktop. | |
| Myspace | |
| Myspace User Name or Friend ID | |
| This will take you to the person's Myspace page that you entered. The page is sent through Google Mobile to squeeze the page down to a size that will fit in your mobile browser. | |
| MSN Spaces | |
| Spaces User Name | |
| This will take you to the MSN Mobile Spaces page of the user you entered. | |
| del.icio.us | |
| del.icio.us User Name or .Tag | |
| This will take you to a list of links tagged with mtag by the username you entered. By using mtag when saving mobile sites you'll be sure that it will be viewable on your mobile browser. You will also be given the option to return links using a different tag but they may not work in your mobile browser. | |
| Flickr | |
| Flickr User Name | |
| This will send you to the persons flickr site that you entered. Not all Flickr sites are avilable to Flickr's mobile interface, and i'm not sure how to determine if it will not be. | |
| Upcoming.org | |
| Event ID | |
| This is in dire need of a revamping, but if you know an event's id you'll be sent to the listing on upcoming.org. | |
| Patents | |
| Patent Number | |
| If you see something with a patent number enter it in and see what the patent is about. You'd be suprised on some of them. My personal favorite is the patent on the McDonald's fry boxes, 6050482. | |
| Horoscope | |
| Astrological Sign or Date | |
| You can enter in the first three letters or the entire sign. If you don't know the sign you can enter in a date in the following format MMDD, so 0217 would get you Aquarius and 0707 will get you Cancer. The Horoscopes come from MSN Mobile. | |
| Weather | |
| Zip Code or City, State | |
| Zip Codes the easiest but if you don't know the Zip Code you can try just the city or city, state. Most major cities like Boston and Seattle work with just the city name, but if your looking for Boston, VA you'll need the state. | |
| Lottery | |
| Zip Code | |
| Enter in a Zip Code and you'll be sent to MSN for your local lotto results. | |
| Movies | |
| Zip Code or Movie Name | |
| By entering a Zip Code you'll be taken to Yahoo where you'll be able view theatres and the movies playing at them. You can also enter in a Movie past or present and get information about the movie. | |
| Flight # | |
| The first thing you'll need to do is enter in a flight number and hit go. The next screen will give you the option to select an airline. Not all airlines are available but send a message to info at wampad.com and i'll add it if I can. | |
