Ideas & Concepts: Mobile Based Content?

Posted By: MattJMcDDoes anyone think this is a viable idea? I've been thinking about this for a while and I think there is a growing audience but I get some disagreement, so I was looking for some input

I would think its a bad idea really, personally when I'm not at work i prefer not to be working...(I class reading YGG and rss feeds work :))
I wouldn't use a mobile devices for this kind of information, maybe for something like restaurants and such but i would prefer to read stuff on a large screen.

I don't think it would be popular enough to be successful.

Have you thought about a website for entrepreneurs dedicated to projects for the mobile and mobile content?

Matt not sure about how everything works in the rest of the world but in Australia (Jam and I) I don't think it's worth thinking about mobile at this stage unless you are affiliated with a carrier. Phone markets are different everywhere though.

In general, when people are using their mobiles are they looking for relevant local information or more likely to be just browsing? I know I'm looking for stuff, but when using public transport everyone has a phone out to fill in time. Is there any industry surveys out there you can check out?

Thanks for the input guys. I've been thinking a lot about what everyone has been saying and may have changed my approach a little bit. Perhaps instead of a resource site, a blog with content from a number of good business bloggers. Most blogs, including mine, don't have a way to access their content via mobile phone, so maybe it could be a place to aggregate the best small posts from great business minds.

I would probably read some biz blogs on a mobile phone - but there's surely a service out there that aggregates RSS for mobile phones already.
