If I want to buy flowers while out and about I will surf to www.interflora.com. If Interflora have got a bean of sense they will make sure that the site works on my mobile device. They will do that by going out and buying a book from Waterstones called "re-designing your website for the mobile world". They will employ a web developer (perhaps one from iTAGG the mobile consultancy ;-) who has experience of xhtml and any other technologies needed. He will write browser and device sniffing code. And then he will make it all work from the same domain name. The Interflora marketing department will spend their marketing dollars on telling the world that they can now buy flowers from their mobile phone. They will not need to spend a penny explaining to the man in the street why he has to use different domain names when using the site in different places. The customers can place the order on their mobile phone. They can then go home and logon to the same website and review their account and print off the invoice, etc. repeat after me "using a .mobi is not necessary". Sorry to rant on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about this but for heavens sake, seeing stories like this Domain King one make me want to screeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmm... deep breath in.....deep breath out....ok you are now ready for your day... steve procter “the Domain King’s brain has left the building”
