The 55 Piece Mobile Search Tool Kit
Written by Charles S. Knight, SEO and edited by Richard MacManus
Last week I saw the following ad in Radio Shack for the Kronus 55 Piece Home Repair Tool Set:
Molded case (1)
Bits (20)
Bit holder (2)
Claw hammer (1)
Level (1)
Pliers (1)
Wire stripper (1)
Long nose pliers (1)
Utility knife (1)
Wrench (1)
Hex keys (sae
& metric) (18)
Hex key holder (1)
Tape measure (1)
Ratchet (1)
Screwdrivers
(4)
All for just $29.99!
As I was reaching for my credit card, the thought occurred to me: why not offer a 55 Piece Mobile Search Tool Kit... and not for $29.99, but for free!
The Mobile Search field is going to be "huge", but right now it's growing in fits and starts. So for the early adopters amongst us, a tool kit will come in handy. Here then is my 55 piece tool kit for mobile search:
With this tool kit in hand, you'll be ready to tackle whatever mobile project
comes along. It's almost impossible to fit all of these
nifty features into any of the hundreds of mobile devices in use right now, so don't
be caught without your 55 piece kit!
As usual, we encourage you to tell us about any mobile search application that we missed - here in the comments of Read/WriteWeb.

Great list!
Funny, as my company just launched the public beta of Tappity yesterday ( www.tappity.com ), which is a user driven site where you can submit, rate, and discover mobile-friendly web pages.
In addition, you can save favorite items to a mobile homepage that's personalized just for you.
Thanks for the mention. URL correction - it's simply winksite.com (no /mobile).
I love Windows Live Search for Mobile (useless name, but...) check out http://wls.live.com
For all the MS Mobile Live apps have a look at http://mobile.live.com
you need some stock quote sites
Hi, good list and thanks for including Zinadoo in there! We're about to launch a mobile search and discovery tool called mobiseer.com, pre-launched it last week at 3GSM and going to unveil at CTIA end March!
My apologies to winksite.com - I have set up my own mobile site there and it works great!
I appreciate all of the suggestions and will keep track of them for future updates.
Keep 'em coming!

1-800-KNOW-NOW (1-800-566-9669) is a great mobile search service. When you call, you speak with a person who searches online for anything and then talks you through the answer.
Good for when you don't want to stop and text or search yourself.
People seem good. They are US based, service is 24/7.
Good alternative to know is out there.
Charles, first of all - great compilation of links. Secondly, just a heads up that we'll soon be launching the beta site for Mobicious (http://www.mobicious.com), where people can discover the best content, services, and applications available for their mobile phones. It's not search per se, but you can find useful text-based services, popular music and videos, and trustworthy places to buy ringtones, images and games.
