At this point, I don't think it's that deep IMHO ... Zagat, like many of the companies reported here in this space, is keeping their options open with the delivery of their service / product to folks that are "on the go". Zagat has always been ahead of the curve in this respect, this is just another angle ... I'd be curious of the SPECIFICS and relationship between Zagat and mTLD (and Visa) and how, and for how long, they came to incorportate the .MOBI as part of this delivery! :gl: :imho:
I'm sure there is more than this small blurp on USA Today™ ... :talk:

I don't want to put a damper on this great publicity for .mobi, but has anyone tried using zagat.mobi on their phone?
I just did and I can not get out of an endless loop. I tell it what city, then I have a selection of restaurant categories. I select any of the categories, then it want's me to select a city. I select the city again, then it shows me the categories again, and so on and so on.

Link: http://zagat.mobi (Scores a 4 on Ready.mobi (out of 5)) :blink:
mTLD, I believe, requires a score of 5 for compliance purposes ... :gl: :imho:
Please advise.

Looks fine for me on the emulator. I asked the question awhile back -- the concensus seemed to be that it was at mtld's discretion whether to take a site down or not (but what good press would come of taking this down in example?).
scandiman said:
Righto, that is the basic compliance ... hopefully they will come here soon to further clarify on the Ready.mobi score and coding requirements expectations, as well as standards (or levels of discretion) as to which "sites" are taken down and which remain up and "in good standing" IMHO. :gl:

Agreed. "Basic compliance" is an absolute joke... Surely someone couldn't have a multi-megabyte homepage on the .mobi extension?

The site works on emulators, but is useless where it counts, my actual phone.

maybe it's your phone, because it works on mine! And quite well too.allnicksgone said:
I don't know ... mtld is a joke, basic compliance is a joke, their rfp is a joke, their whole marketing strategies are a joke.... Weird.., why some just keep wasting their time and energy complaining and ridiculing about something they just don't like, or believe in their abilities to make happen, but keep buying their products and saying they are a supporter of that product. And should that product become successful in the big marketplace, will come a proudly touting how they were an early supporter of it all along.Reece said:

You don't think it's that deep? Really Jeff, what's it going to take for you to understand that major corps are choosing to brand their mobile sites with the .mobi extension?Jeff said:At this point, I don't think it's that deep IMHO ...

If Zagat isn't "in deep" with .mobi at this point, I've got a nice bridge to sell you Jeff.

I sent zagat an e-mail describing my trouble.
I am glad to hear it works on other phones. I hope it is only a small minority that have trouble.
You mean, like Comcast™ ?!?
Or, maybe, Google? :o
Go directly to mobile.google.com on your mobile device's browser.

With the caveat that NO ONE here knows the the specific relationship between Zagat and mTLD (and Visa) ... and what this means, specifically, for .MOBI in the long run IMHO. Otherwise, onward and upward ... :talk:
