Zinadoo European Web 2.0, Ireland

Zinadoo has a host of facilities for mobile phone users the most impressive being the facility to create websites in an eazsy Web 2.0 way that can be accessed and navigated easily through the mobile phone. It also allows users to create group texts.
The website builder comes with a simple startpage-type interface allowing you to type into the home page and then publish, edit, add picture etc. An application like Zinadoo could have a Bebo-like effect in the marketplace. It’s so easy to use and young kids are spending so much time on their mobiles - mine get text interrupts three times a meal.
Where are the problems? I was talking recently with Ajit Jaokar about mobile trends and Ajit talked about bill-shock. People go to the mobile web once or twice and try out new applications - until they get their phone bill.
Over in the USA, SMS.ac, a mobile company that collected bad karma by the way it recruited its membership, has tried launching a new charter for mobile users, with full price discloure being top of the charter’s “rights.”
According to Ajit though until we get fixed price into mobile - one monthly fee like my broadband company gives me for web surfing - mobile content and applications will struggle.
That’s not to put a dampener on zinadoo but maybe a call for some kind of consumer momentum behind fixed price mobile web access.
