Thanks for the suggestions Michael. All the features you mentioned is on our .com versions. We will continue to move more features to the .mobi versions. The only thing we do not do is allow customization of the look on the individual city guides. We have content people and user generated sections to make the content specific to that city. The look and navigation must remain the same so when you visit HelloBoston.com and then HelloSeattle.com you know how to move around the site and not have to re-learn from city to city.

Some things we will be adding to the .mobis in the next couple of week are:
1. sending text messages from the .mobi site (of YP and WP listings) to your phone or someone else's.
2. Movie Showtimes
3. state Lotto numbers
4. Download free art and music from local artist to makes Screen savers and Ringtones.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/dot-mobi/324094-hellometro-is-launched-huge-mobi-network.html
5.Weather Radar
6. Events by city

But I guess the main thing you guys are interested in, is whether the .mobi domains will takehold? I have been doing this for 6 years, built Internet companies and sold Internet companies. I believe the anser is Yes. The momentum from the large players have started.

We could have just bought one domain instead of 600. Some reasons we went with 600: This mirrors our current dot com network of Hello"City".com. We have 600+ .com, one for each major city. i.e. HelloChicago.com, HelloMiami.com
We do this to have a truly local portal (domain) instead of something like www.CitySearch.com/IL/Chicago.html

By having a domain for each city also removes one layer of search. If you are on HelloBoston.mobi just do not have to drill down into the state and city before you search. Especially help for .mobi and navigating on a cell phone.

As far as content, all of our 350 US cities have the full Yellow Pages, White Pages, Users generated ratings of Restuarants, attractions and news feeds. The Foreign cities are coming up online this week with Resturants and Attractions. In the next 3 weeks we will be adding many more features similar to our .com portals.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=324094

Thank you again for talking about our new .mobi network. I would be glad to answer any other question.

Thank you for your comments Clark Scott and Welcome to Name Pros. I agree with some of the posted comments. It would be nice it you could post comments here on a few occasions when you have time. Thanks again. :-)

Yeah, I got newsletter from Godaddy about the event:

"Hello Metro Goes MOBI! It's the online directory built around community—so that a local artist is as easy to locate as a killer restaurant. Find out how this company attracts 2 million uniques a month & why their .MOBI gamble is about to pay off big. Guest: Clark Scott, HelloMetro.com CEO"

Clark,

Welcome.

You will be hated, despised, spit upon, shat upon, told that you and mobi are a dismal failure and a waste of time, destined to be a flop, and ridiculed.

But that will just be your first night. After that, you'll get used to it.

Can Bob not be present? I might tune in then.

Actually, I would like to hear PimpDaddy's take on .mobi. They have started adding it to their "alternative livestyle" selections.

And Clark and the HelloMetro folks...not meaning to steal your thunder but when you see this promo, understand it is an inside thing and quite contentious.
