The last few days I have been playing around with a service that is new service called mobisitegalore.com. It lets you build mobile web pages from a computer. So far nothing with a wow-factor. But you can also build your mobile sote from any mobile with a wap browser. The latter is what intrigues me. First of all because the tool works really well on the mobile. I have not seen something this simple, yet well performing before.

So now my mind is racing with ideas. What about all independent merchants in countries like South Africa and India? There the mobile web browsing has come very far and the penetration by far outnumbers fixed internet access penetration. Multiple opportunities for local businesses to really enhance their power in the digital world. Now we are moving beyond the famous examples of fishermen texting to get market prices of their catch they are about to land etc. Now you can build and edit your mobile web front-end directly from your phone. I have a list of many business opportunities arising with a strong and simple mobile phone enabled web editor, which this in effect is.

On my flight back from Oslo I will work more on this list of opportunities. Maybe something to stick in the hands of a microcredit organisation to help boost their borrowers’ businesses?
