I will not have a blog entry on this panel. With 6 participants of various backgrounds – it wasn’t focused. The sound was also terrible. There was little flow to the conversation. The session was obviously frustrating to the audience as half of them left before it was over.
There was a minimum of three panels merged into one here – white label mobile search, LBS in conjunction mobile search and voice with mobile search. My view is that CTIA doesn’t fully appreciate the importance of mobile search yet and that the mobile search discussions during the Billboard event on Monday were of superior quality.
A good solution for mobile searches, even from old phones, is to go to wap.pssdir.com
This lets you instantly find qualified information from existing information repository.
If you want to have access later on to your topic of interest, you can simply build your own web-directory at http://www.pssdir.com .
Your search agents will automatically keep populating your database and you will be able to build knowledge and remove unwanted links once for all. The systems learns from your actions and choices.
While great for regular searches, it is a unique proposition in the mobile world.
