A Handy Little Mobile Website
June 25th, 2007 MobileFreak
In our first post where we begin covering a new mobile website every day, we ran across a simple but useful mobile website called HandyFact.
HandyFact provides quick, easy to access blips of information for people on the go. As it’s name implies, it includes links to a number of different tools and information resources that can indeed be very handy while traveling.
At the time of this article, HandyFact offered 17 different categories of information, including area codes, entertainment, measurement conversion, and even a tipping guide. One of my favorite tips was filed under the “Proper Etiquette” category:
Should I pickup a dropped fork?
HandyFact Answer: Let the waitperson pick it up. You or someone else may accidentally use it if you put it on your table.
So much for the 5-second rule.
Based on the URL, HandyFact seems to be an offshoot of another mobile site called SqueezeNet. Perhaps we can dive into that site in a future article.

Note to readers: As we begin providing these daily highlights of mobile websites, we want to hear from you. What do you like about this format? What would you change? What would make you come back to this site, or bookmark it?
