This is a Survey;

I want to set up a "Town Directory" of businesses with MOBILE websites and I'd like to know WHICH name to use...

A) MOBI Town Directory
or
B) MOBILE Town Directory
or
C) MOBILE PHONE Town Directory

So....I'd appreciate YOUR choice of which name do YOU think....would be a) "most appealing"
and
b) "most easily recognized and remembered" by local Town consumers

Thanks much,
Don Alm

    Depends on your target audience.

    "Mobi" is used in Europe, especially Switzerland (the also use "handy" there).

    In the US for example cellphone or cellular is used.

    Do some research and find out what your target audience uses.

      Thanks for response...however....if I was setting up a "Directory" of businesses that have "Mobile-Ready" websites in....Tampa, Florida....would I use a domain name like;

      "CellPhoneTampa.com"
      or....
      "CellularTampa.com"

      They don't "sound" right or appealing.

      That's why I'm looking for a MORE appealing and easily remembered Domain like;

      "MobiTampa.com"
      of
      "MobileTampa.com"

      Whatcha Think?

      Thanks,
      Don Alm

    Well, in that case Tampamobi or Tampamobile would sound better. Or maybe a variation of "mobile" like "on the go".

    While writing this tampaonthego.com is still available while tampamobi.com and tampamobile.com are taken.

    Something to consider... The death of dotMobi has been a pretty hot topic and much predicted since the tablet/iphone started changing things...

    Donna Pawar, Co-Founder of Yojo Mobile, succinctly summarizes the present state of affairs; "Having a special domain extension exclusively for mobile devices is not really needed anymore given today’s next generation devices like the iPhone…"

    How about TampaBizCells or TampaBizMobile? Whatever you call it, if it's useful people will make a shortcut to it on their device. I was thinking, would using mobile in the name make people think it was for mobile businesses like catering trucks and car detailers, etc.?

    Just thinking...

    By the way, I've really appreciated your other ideas...
