Rant: Got NHL-content on the mobile? Ever tried to use it?
Continuing going to rant-school. Today: Why is it seemingly so difficult to deliver NHL content on the mobile phone in a way that makes sense to the people who consume that content?
How I wish people at NHL.com, Vaynermedia, ESPN.com, TSN.ca and Yahoo were listening…
Espn mobile site adds video – plays on iPhone
(this is also testing the wordpress iphone app)
Espn’s NHL site has been poorly updated during the off-season and the mobile version was still kind of lame content-wise compared to e.g. tsa.ca/nhl. To me, an NHL-app would be king, like MLB-app that livestreams games. I’d pay 15 euros to watch games on my iPhone easily, considering here in Germany NHL hockey is not available on free-tv.
Sometime this week though, they espn updated the mobile site though, enabling video reports of games. See the small symbol next to the headline.
Click that and the clip comes, quickly and crisp. Well done. But i still want the app!
