I hope Google isn't far behind.

Nice! But wonder if we could also take part in this and not just the big fish.

they say it is being offered to publishers of websites aimed at mobile users, but you probably have to have a Yahoo publisher account, which you can't get outside the US yet. that's why I'm hoping Google comes out with something similar.

Google shouldn't be too far behind, they are gonna want a share of the projected $1.5 billion in mobile ad revenue for this year! Can't see them missing out on that!

What took them so long? Guess they had to be convinced the internet is going mobile.

That's a good news unfortunately I do not have yahoo publisher account.

it's too bad that I can't join yahoo publisher cause I'm living outside US.

Do these large companies think that English-speakers or American citizens living outside America actually exists!? That is the same thing that microsfot does when i try to access information from Japan. I automatically get info from Japan - But i need the information in English.
It is stupid that they only restrict opportunities for people living in the united states.

This reminds me on something...

The exact thing will happen with redirecting a mobile user to a mobile friendly .com.

Everything which goes automatically goes automatically wrong... The consumer wants to choose!

Yes this is a great point, choice, power to the user..
Which is why I wrote my only gripe against Dot Mobi at http://internethumanrights.com

Don't force me to do anything..

Besides, I'm not gonna remember your wap.domain.com/mobile URL anyway..

.. and what if I wanted to access the full site .com version (with just scrollbars) from my high end PDA and you forced me to a lesser mobile version?

(interesting point MobileDesigner about your "forced" experiences in Japan with English)

Since all Dot Coms exist now as full established sites, these need to be preserved for "full" access on the move.. do the device detect and redirect on the .mobi.. it is a seesaw effect happening with dot com and dot mobi.. one is used alot now for mobile but has a confusing role (.com) and the other (.mobi) has very little usage/content now on the net.. but will only rise from here.. just faster than the alternative.. because the demand for the mobile internet revolution is high now.. so the dot mobi compliance standards can act as a catalyst for the adoption of .mobi over .com for mobile mainstream hotness.. just as Microsoft Windows unified everyone on one platform for timely advancement.. in its own revolution..

Try www.AdMob.com

I am putting their ads on a couple of sites and it is working very well.

They take anyone from anywhere, you just need some traffic to make $$!

Cheers.

Both Yahoo and Google have registered their .mobi and redirect them to their mobile site. What we need now is that they use them directly and advertise them heavily.
