When using my cellphone, I tend to become a passive consumer of the internet. When using my laptop, I become an active creator of it. The difference is the input mechanisms. The friction and inefficiency of typing on a mobile device is high enough to discourage most production.

I keep myself not-logged-into-twitter on my phone for exactly this reason. There I just scroll. On my computer, I talk to people, which for me is the whole point of being on twitter.

Also bluetooth keyboards are awesome for increasing phone efficacy. I have one very-portable one and one very-ergonomic one (literally the same one I use with my laptop, just in bluetooth form: the split Kinesis Freestyle 2) and they help a lot.

I use the Kinesis advantage2. though the mac trackpad is great for switching between & closing tabs. as well as scrolling. so my hands often feel conflicted.
