Posted on February 22, 2009 by Chris Heisel

[WP Super Cache](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/) just upgraded to [version 0.9](http://ocaoimh.ie/2009/01/27/wp-super-cache-09/) and it finally works well with mobile-specific template plugins like [MobilePress](http://mobilepress.co.za/).

Just download and enable both, then go to Settings -> WP Super Cache and check the “Mobile device support” checkbox.

The Economics of Giving It Away

  • The Economics of Giving It Away – A good wrapup of the current thinking around Internet business models. I'm still not sure how many media sites will ever be able to charge for their content. Not a knock on the quality of the content, but just the fact that 90% of all content has become a commodity.
