[Mobilepartners] M Dot: Web's Answer to Mobile

[Andrew Yu]

Greetings!

There is an interesting blog post discussing the preferred URL for mobile websites.

"Whoever thinks the web is sliding ever-so gently onto mobile phones hasn't spent much time mucking around in the cellular browser. The mobile Internet is kicking its way there, with a lot of confusing choices for consumers - dot mobi, WAP, mobile.name.com. But I've noticed a trend lately of Internet companies using m.name.com, or M Dot, to go mobile."

It might be a good time to set up   m.mit.edu   .

If you are interested in this topic or anything that has to do with mobile web, I will be making a presentation at the Webpub User Group meeting on 5/24 (Thursday) 12 pm at N42 Demo Center. 

Cheers,

Andrew
