Mobile solutions provider Thumbtribe has created a directory of top local mobile sites called 'Best of the mobile Web'.
According to the company, the directory focuses on the top South African mobi-sites where users can find content divided into 17 categories, including news, sport, celebrities, brands, and downloads.
Sites include well-known media brands like MNet, TimesLive, Junkmail, Private Property, Car, Getaway, Soccer Laduma, You magazine, Shape and Sports Illustrated, among others.
Thumbtribe CEO Graeme Haley says the motivation for the mobi-directory came from the fact that search engine results are mostly Web-based. “So if you're looking for something on your mobile, like Car magazine, for example, then you get the Internet-based site, which at 1.5MB costs about R2.40 to download, versus a 16kb mobi-site which costs 3c.
“Because there was no conformity in how to find different mobi-sites, it made sense to create a directory where everything is easily available under one roof,” he adds.
