Press Information Bureau launches mobile version of its website

In a bid to increase accessibility via mobile platforms, the Press Information Bureau, India’s official government press agency, recently launched the mobile version of its website. The URL of the mobile website is http://pib.gov.in/mobile. Mobile users who prefer the full functionality and display of the regular website can access it from pib.gov.in. The new mobile site has been customised to display the latest press releases on its home page. The site also offers links to other matter on the website. In addition, to make the website accessible to users with poor or slow internet connections, the mobile site does not display ‘heavy’ content such as photographs and videos on the homepage. Instead, a ‘Photos’ tab displays a basic photo gallery page. Click here for full story
