I don't see a URL in there, does anyone know it?

The most important thing I saw in that article, from a .mobi perspective, was this:
Quote:
"The Coca-Cola Company needs to continue to recruit future generations of consumers," said Mark Greatrex, senior vice president of marketing for Coca-Cola. "Mobile marketing is absolutely where it's at for us going forward."
That's music to my ears!

Sure from that perspective it's great news. I did check to see the Whois of SpriteYard.mobi and it's not regged by Coke but some other entity.

Coke is doing pretty well IMO - Staying up with tech. They even opened a secondlife Shop :

Found an older Blog post , That is decent reading.

Introducing a GPS function with search opens a lot of opportunities for mobile marketing and social networking possibilities.

Keyspots, based on GPS location will be the equivalent to keywords for mobile marketing. Just like the keywords sex, travel, and news command high fees, so too will GPS locations with heavy traffic. Manhattan versus Des Moines, what will attract more traffic?

Here are the creators of the Sprite Yard site. And they do own http://spriteyard.mobi !!!

http://marvellousmobile.com/

Definitely the creators of the Coke site. Referring to this quote on the Marvellous site:
Quote:
LATEST The world's largest mobile marking initiative is unveiled - created and built by Marvellous.

"We know that when it comes to reaching teens, mobile is the medium. This program will enable us to connect with teens by putting Sprite both in their hand and on their phone,"
Denis Sison, CocaCola

And did I mention that they own spriteyard.mobi???

Thanks for the above info and links. I have some good contacts at Coke. I'll see what I can stir up in regards to their .mobi plans. Might even be able to wrangle a meeting and directly promote the mobi benefits to them. No promises but I will definitely make an effort. Thanks for the heads up !

Nice one COBO! This is the sort of action we all need to start doing to get the message spread as far as possible. As soon as the sounds of .mobi get chucked around board meetings thats when the tide will turn and away we go!

Nice idea but it might be cost prohibitive for most teens/parents.

Hmmmm I saw that it was Marvellous Ideas that regged SpriteYard.mobi but did not realise they are Coke connected. Now I see they are as they are handling the set-up of the site for Coke. This I think is very exciting for .Mobi

I do wonder why Coke regged the .COM site themselves and Marvellous the .MOBI site

Probably the Coke marketing department regged the .com, not even knowing about .mobi. Then Marvellous comes in with the mobile knowledge and realizes that they need to grab the mobi.
