Music for the Ears from dotMobi
dotMobi, the consortium behind .mobi - the Internet address created
specifically for finding Web sites that work on mobile phones - has
announced the launch of ringtones.mobi. This site aims to make it easier
for music fans to buy ringtones and mobile-friendly wallpaper images from
independent and established music acts. It’s owned by Zameen Group and is
created and run by Toronto-based ooober.
ooober,
is a mobile content management and delivery platform for Long Tail and
user-generated content for social networks. It provides a set of
self-service, extensible tools enabling content producers to create their
own mobile multimedia storefronts, widgets, and text messaging campaigns.
"At
ooober, we understand the significance of giving site owners or content
providers - whether companies or individuals - a way to promote their
content easily and securely on the mobile Web," said Kashif Hassan,
chairman and CEO of ooober. "A .mobi domain helps eliminate reservations
about the ability of sites to work on mobile phones, especially as the
number of mobile devices around the world continues to increase. We fully
support dotMobi's ongoing mission to ensure that sites, such as
ringtones.mobi, are optimized for mobile devices."
ringtones.mobi allows users to download and purchase content sold by
independent bands within the "Stores" section of the mobile site and
offers a quick way to sort for the latest tunes through an assortment of
pre-listed genres.
The
dotMobi Premium Names list is a set of more than 5,000 commonly used words
that the dotMobi domain name registry set aside during its formation.
dotMobi was the first domain company to offer selected names directly to
the market via an auction process rather than a traditional "first come,
first served" process.
dotMobi
is backed by leading mobile operators, network & device manufacturers, and
Internet content providers, including Ericsson, GSM Association, Hutchison
3, Microsoft, Nokia, Orascom Telecom, Samsung Electronics, Syniverse,
T-Mobile, Telefonica Moviles, TIM, Visa, and Vodafone.
Zameen
