.mobi Everyone's feedback wanted for .Mobi development.

[-db-]

Hello.

I'm thinking about developing a couple .Mobi domains for certain cities.

Assume the city you live in was to have a .Mobi site, what type of content would you find most useful? What type of information would you look up, using your mobile phone?

If you were on-the-go and visited the site, what would you hope to find?

Hotels?
Restaurants?
Maps?
What else?

[SKG]

Yellow Pages
Weather
Traffic
Wi-Fi locator
Starbucks Finder

malls/shopping malls

pubs/bars

Maps for sure. Next would be weather and recreation.

Nightlife activities - where to go, what to do, how to get there from point of origin.
Locations Police stations, Taxi Stands, public transportation timetables.

Local events/festivals/plays/concerts - things to do

I think developed city .mobis can be very useful for people on the move. It would probably be best to include information that would be useful for both locals for the city, as well as visitors.

* - Transportation info such as train, bus, underground stops.
* - Tourist Sights, Attractions, Museums
* - Internet Cafes ( if someone needs to urgently send/receive an email ?? )
* - A listing of useful telephone number such as local hospitals, police, car breakdown, etc.
* - Entertainment info - cinemas, clubs, restaurants, bars
* - As mentioned, maps would also be useful. You could try .. http://www.mapquest.com/pda/maps.adp
* - Upcoming / Current Events - music concerts, sports, etc

I am planning to add several such features to my iAthens.mobi site in the near future. At the moment, I am using business listings that I have on the .com version of my site, but slowly want to integrate several other useful options.

Good luck with it, and keep us updated.

Alex
