With a few major brand websites not validating on W3C checker and not caring much about it, it seems that W3C validation is loosing its relevancy in the desktop web world.
What about the W3C MobileOK checker? Should mobile content publishers worry about their mobile pages validating against the W3C mobile standards? Does the W3C MobileOK compliance help insure the cross-device compatibility of the mobile content? These questions have come up lately, and I've decided to write a blog post to help shed some light on this matter.
1. According to W3C.org website:
"Being mobileOK is neither a guarantee that the Web document may be rendered correctly by all mobile devices, nor an insurance that the user experience was correctly addressed."
This statement is self-explanatory - just because the site validates, it doesn't mean it looks good or functions correctly across the mobile devices. By no means treat MobileOK as any form of device compatibility assurance.

We are happy to announce a couple of powerful features that we’ve added to piJnz platform this week:
1. Mobile Coupon Generator
In the US coupon usage has been on the rise (probably due to the recession, as well as the popularity of the digital coupons and the daily deal sites that made coupons not only easier to distribute and use, but also more socially acceptable).
Our new mobile coupon generator comes with a few powerful features:
- (Optional) controlled redemption: coupon can be redeemed once per customer (to help prevent coupon fraud or abuse)
- Coupons can be redeemed at multiple stores, with store tracking
- With multiple location redemption visitors see the location closest to them
- Automated scheduling (start date and expiration date)
