Zagat on the cell
Venerable dining and nightlife guide Zagat Survey last week launched a Zagat.mobi made-for-wireless website offering access to restaurant and hotel listings that you can also text-message.

Good info, good blurp!

Let's not get carried away here ... developed corporate ™ .MOBI websites along with their advertising and promotions (including corporate information links and direct linking of the .MOBI's from their main .COM sites) is newsworthy, IMHO. Lots of what has been posted lately, though, is repetitive not necessarily as "newsworthy" but simply more of H.Y.P.E. in my humble view.

When will the 500 premium .MOBI's be going on sale (versus RFP'd!), and which specific ones? How will it be ensured that these sales will result with unique and compelling mobile content from End users and developers? What is the status with Sports.mobi, as well as the .MOBI default button on .MOBI backer's devices (at the very least)? This is all important news that we should be getting (from mTLD), in my view.

Just my two sense.

I take it you don't know WHICH 500 premium .MOBI's are going to be sold (and when), Hawkeye?

Thanks anyway.

This thread is nothing to do with the premium names. Maybe you should start a new thread & keep this one on topic?

I was simply replying / commenting to Bricio's post, but will do ...

Onward and upward.

OMG, you are complaining about something being repetitive? Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?

No problem Jeff,
I just hate it when i'm reading a thread, called e.g. "Boston Globe readers see Zagat.mobi on Sunday" and then it goes way off topic talking about 500 unreleased premium names. JMO

Thanks,
James

Threads often evolve in this type of manner, but your point is understood!

Thanks again, James.

Really? It's not the thread, it's you

If a subsection for mobi news postings - otherwise referred to as HYPE - is not called for at this time, then individual postings will continue as permitted.

I felt that this deserved mention because it was in a Sunday newspaper in a major US city, in the hands of endusers - people who will go zagat.mobi and try it. This I feel is very different than domainers/developers hearing announcements since we are already tuned in to it. Not at all repetitive hype.

That's not the topic of this thread, so Let's not get carried away here. Why mention the RFP's on a thread about zagat.mobi?

Please stay on topic.
