Yeah, it would be better to carry your laptop or pc in your pants pocket when you are traveling or on vacation. There really is no point in using your cell phone to look at a website when it is so itty bitty.

Besides, I don't know who in the hell would in their right mind promote another one of their own products or affiliates on their home page to help in branding and let their customers know that they can access Hilton no matter where they go.

How did anyone like this ever stay in business?

One could argue that you make your travel plans and hotel reservations before you travel.

I have never once traveled without knowing where I'm going to sleep before hand. But sounds like there are many that do.

As far as my sister on a webcam on a cellphone what kind of resolution and size are you expecting to get?

So all this hooplah is because Hilton hotels registered their .mobi extension?

But then they just forwarded it to their .com site? Am I missing something here? I don't think it's time for mobi fans to break out the moonshine just yet.

yes, you're missing that it is not forwarded to their normal .com site.

put your spectacles on and take a closer look..

it is forwarded to "a" .com site... not hilton.com


hmmmmmmm.. when i type in hilton.com it brings me to : http://www1.hilton.com/en_US/hi/index.do;jsessionid=FGKSAV2ESQWMYCSGBJF2VCQKIYFC3UUC

im thinking about writing this down and sticking it inside my wallet for the next time i visit hilton.com, so i can remember the real address... seems much easier, you know? :cool:

I always know where I am going and where I am staying. But I don't know the unforseen or the troubles unknown. Like traveling back from Philadelphia and have a tire blow out late at night in Virginia. Damn the luck, didn't have a laptop or PC with me.

Sure would have been nice if I had anything that could have directed me to a hotel, a tow service, or whatever. Had to call AAA and wait on the side of the interstate for more than an hour for the tow truck. Then had to ride in with the tow truck driver to find a hotel that was open or rooms available.

Had I had the capability, I could have used my cell phone and done a search on En-Route.mobi...this would have given me access to available hotels, I could have booked a room, called the tow truck, called a cab to meet me once the tow truck arrived, and possibly lined up something to eat or at least have inquired of the hotel about dining facilities nearby.

The moral of the story? Use en-route.mobi and boroughs.mobi now that you have them available to you.

Sorry for the shameless self promotion but I am excited about this site. Go ahead, use it...it won't hurt. Couple little minor things to work out...traffic report and logo change.

I bet I can use my navigation system way quicker than you can use en-route.mobi. Regardless, it's a reasonable point but I think people will ultimately be shocked at how little commerce is done by mobile devices over the next ten years. Even you are talking about the exception rather than the rule.

I don't have a navigation system. I do know some can and do make calls. But now I do have a navigation system and directory at my disposal and it fits in my pocket...hotels, dinner, clubs, hookers, escort services, bail bondsman, lawyers...for all of you going to the domainfest.

I do like your site. I think it's an appropriate use of the .mobi extension. I hope it will be successful for you. May I suggest a drop-down box in the "search for" category? Would be nice to see a list of things you can search for, also, I don't know how to spell restauruant.

I'll pass that along to SeanBoy.

Success is all in the making.

I was getting ready to mail out several thousand postcards to hospitals across that nation for another site. Guess what I decided to include as an add on sticker?

Thanks for the compliments. And yes, it is appropriate for the mobi extension. Something I have been trying to convey for quite sometime. Regging names or words for the sake of regging is not the best way to approach this. The name should fit the extension.

"restauruant"...am I missing something here?

Son, lemme tell ya' now...

take a little bit of that thar snake oil, mix in some real "mountain dew" elixir straight from the still here in En Caroline, get you a couple of swigs and the next thing you know ol' one eyed, two teeth Betty Sue be looking pertier and pertier and a whole heap of a lot more poundage than that Hilton bean pole.

You ain't seen no mobi or mobile til the girl get neked and rides that mechanical bull and the next thing you know she's a tossed into the air...that's what we here call MO-BILE!

YEE HAW!

Why golly!!

Doc last nite I tried that there concoction and it surely went down smooth. The only problem be I sounded like a damn fool around Betty Sue, fumblin & mumblin with an IQ of 10 sayin Um Ok?, Um , Um Ok?,,,Um Ok? Boy, I was a Fearfull dumbass...all hat, no cattle and nuttin to say. Maybe, if that there mTLD released PickUpLines.mobi, it may have helped my mental jam.

I was saying, about your site, that without the drop-down box, you risk your visitors mispelling the terms they want to search for. Maybe the program is smart enough to catch it, I don't know.

Gotcha...not sure how to capture errors. That's my SeanBoy's department. Or perhaps just enter FOOD. When I'm hungry, I'll find something to eat. Or go to the search bar and enter PIZZA, or STEAK. Very, very slick.

Doc,

It's difficult to decide which one is my favorite Doc "classic" post, especially with your Wachovia.mobi boardroom simulation today, I read that one a few times laughing my ass off!!!

Great Work!

Michael

Tired of the same argument over and over and over...it's like a damn sieve with so many holes in it.

Time to mix things up a little bit.
