Xen Dolev at Xellular Identity<\/em> has a good post<\/a> covering Mobicious<\/em>‘ business model and their PC web site. I’m going to focus on the mobile side of Mobicious<\/em>.<\/p>\n
Mobicious <\/em>is brand new and the listings are still a little sparse and there are few reviews or ratings. In order to use Mobicious <\/em>on your phone you must first register on a PC at www.mobicious.com<\/a>. The site is in Alpha so this is OK for now but Mobicious <\/em>really needs to open the mobile site up for browsing by un-registered users. While it’s easy to register and requires only an email address requiring it to use the mobile site will hurt adoption. A mobile search and portal site needs to be discoverable from the mobile web. Other mobile sites and search engines will link to Mobicious.<\/em> Users who follow the links will land on the login page and not be able to do anything – not a good first impression. Browsing and searching, as opposed to rating, reviewing and purchasing content shouldn’t require registration anyway.<\/p>\n
