Mobile site indexing tool gathers pace

metaTXT is working with ten partners on a search tool to index mobile sites regardless of domain name.

metaTXT is working with ten partners to develop a search tool that indexes mobile sites regardless of domain name.

The firm claims 1,000 mobile sites use metaTXT, but when the standard is deployed by the working group the reach will be near 200 million. The new partners include Abphone, Bango, JumpTap , Taptu, MCN , Medio Systems , Mobilytics , Nubiq, RingRing Media  and visibilitymobile.com.

Mícheál Ó Foghlú, chairman of the metaTXT working group, said, "There remains some hesitation in the market about one Web and the mobile Internet. We are carving out ways where we can all work together to achieve excellence for the Mobile Web – driven by an open standard.  The independence we offer as one of Ireland's leading ICT research centres is such to ensure that all major brands and search engines have given metaTXT a warm welcome."
