Hot-or-Not WAP (BETA) goes live

Point your hanset browser to http://hn.tjwap.net. For some time we've been looking forward to doing something with Hot-or-Not - one of the first and still one of the most fun community websites around. Since Jim and James were kind enough to offer their content via webservices we couldn't resist knocking this one out over the weekend. Check back soon - we've got a lot more goodies due for imminent release.

For techies, WIRMI allows types APIs and business objects to be exposed to wireless clients without writing a single line of client code. For the non-techie, you get more capable networked mobile apps faster, cheaper and of higher quality. This redesign both reduces the code space and increases the runtime efficiency by large factors.
