Thanks u812. It does get a 5/5 now, so I'm halfway to a 10/10!!! Had a friend use it while he and his wife were out running errands, and they loved it! They even found a store they didn't know was in their area. Hopefully a good sign.
It's not gonna help me I'm in OZ , however I can telly you i'm creating my own version down here in OZ, mainly a page created for myself whilst on-the-go, mobile news,sport, weather, football scores having links provided by others for my convenience! (now all I have to do now is wait till they get their butts into gear) :hehe:
Thanks all, I appreciate all your positive feedback and comments. Now I've got to figure how to monetize it. Hope those that can (US), use it when you're out and about.
If you don't mind me asking ... from where does it grab the content / listings? :gl: Yahoo! U.S. :blink:
To monetize, you need to sell targeted ads within each locale IMHO. Continue to promote and market the new site/brand, show increasing usage and traffic stats, form partnerships, etc. and these ad / local sponsor sales may come easier. HotJobs, for instance, may wish to advertise in EVERY local market (in addition to the targeted ones)! You (we all) need REAL support from the .MOBI folks - browser defaults, consumer awareness of the .MOBI, backing from the cell phone providers, RFP's in the right hands developing alongside yours, marketing its acceptance and adoption, and financial support! :gl: :talk:
Best of Luck.
