People powered mobile search-Getting answers on the Go…
By jason on Jan 31, 2008 in Social Media

A new service I just discovered is mosio. It’s a spin on mobile search that is really useful and solves quite a few problems with existing ways to search on your mobile
Most everyone has GOOG-411 programmed into their cell phone. Newer phones all have the ability to browse the internet depending on your level of service but the problem is two-fold- finding answers on the go and taking the time to tap out the sms or search parameters and try to find answers that are quick and display correctly on your mobile phone
I find use in other search services and use them quite often to find people and places in different locales. For example looking for a UPS Store to mail something or what’s the closest Domino’s Pizza . Often times there is a need to find out different tidbits of information when your on the go and need to know.
For example: What time does the Chargers football game start? Who won the academy award for best actor in 1972?
How do I figure out answers to questions like this is a quick and easy manner?
Mosio works on a simple give and take principle:
- You invite people to your Qniverse (question universe)
- When you’re mobile and they’re online, they help answer your questions.
- When you’re online and they’re mobile, you help answer theirs.
It’s totally free and you can ask just about anything- each question you text returns with a maximum of four messages in the answer
In addition Mosio also works with Jott- Jott is a speech to text service that interfaces with different services such as Mosio, Twitter, Tumblr and Google Calendar. So for example you call Jott and dictate your questions, the question is transcribed to text and sent to Mosio then you can receive the answer either by email or text message
Mosio also works with twitter. You follow mosio on twitter at twitter.com/qna and you can direct message your question on twitter either from your desktop or from your mobile client
