The pages look weird.?
All web browsers interpret the HTML behind them slightly differently. miniSPHERE was optimized for Windows Mobile Internet Explorer. While it was tested on other browsers like Palm and Opera and iPhone's Safari, minimal changes were made to directly support these browsers. Currently the Mobicosm and its services are targeted at the Windows Mobile platform. As the Mobicosm grows, and resources increase, most notable time, money, and human resources, more platforms will be supported.

Where are all the other sites?
By clicking the name of a category, you will be taken to a full listing of each site in that category. If you have joined miniSPHERE, clicking a checkbox will allow you to select which sites in that category you would like on your homepage.

Why do I see the same site under multiple categories?
miniSPHERE is meant to be a system of sites, not merely a list of them. Therefore, we have placed each site in every category that may relate to the site. This way, you'll find it where you'd expect to find it.

What does joining get me?
First and foremost, it will allow you to customize the homepage. This means you can add or remove sites from each category, or you can minimize a category that you don't use as often. But in the long run, you'll benefit by joining because you'll automatically gain access to future Mobicosm offerings, particularly sites and services that seamlessly snap-in to miniSPHERE.

I forgot my password.
Click the Join/Sign In link in the black bar beneath the logo. Then click the "Forgot Password?" link. Enter your Username. Answer your security question correctly. Then we'll email a temporary password to you. Once you sign in with the temporary password, you can change it to something more easily memorable.

What does the Search do?
It is a very simple search feature that searches the sites listed on miniSPHERE by keywords. It is not going to find out who won the 1988 World Series, but if you type "baseball" in the search box, it may give you the link to a site that can find that out for you.

I know a great mobile website. How do I get it listed in miniSPHERE?
At the bottom of every page is a link called "Suggest a Site". Use this link to tell us about a great mobile website out there and we'll check it out. If it meets our highly subjective criteria (if it's cool), we'll add it. If it's cool beyond any words that can be constructed into a sentence descriptive enough to do it justice, we'll add it to the default homepage, and perhaps even spotlight it on everybody's homepage.

How are sites selected?
We do our own browsing and research, and we accept suggestions (see above).

It's broken! What do I do?
Head over to the Feedback page and tell us what went wrong. Be as descriptive as possible, such as what page you were on or trying to access, and what you clicked. We'll fix it.

What is your contact information?
Head on over to the Mobicosm Contact page and you'll find plenty of contact information.

I would like my site on your homepage. How can I do this?
If you have a great mobile website, we'd like to see it. If you would like it placed in a special location, spotlighted on the homepage, or placed as an advertisement, we're flexible ($). Just Head over to the Feedback page and spill your beans. We'll get back to you.
