Mobi Websites
Mobi (also known as DotMobi) is a top-level domain extension
recently approved by ICANN and managed by the mTLD global
registry dedicated to delivering the Internet to mobile
devices via the Mobile Web. It is financially backed by
world’s largest companies such as Google, Microsoft,
Nokia, Samsung, Ericsson, Vodafone, Hutchison and VISA.
.mobi websites are optimized for viewing on smaller screens
such as mobile phone, PDAs, and smart phones. Due to small
viewable area, and lack of download speed, .mobi websites
are optimized with simplicity and faster download time.
With the rapid surge in the sale of mobile and heldheld
devices worldwide, there is no doubt that the mobile content
is going to be the next big thing with the mobile phone
users. Already companies are paying more than $100,000
for buying .mobi domains (Flowers.mobi sold for $200,000)
indicating huge potential for this medium. However, the
challenge is that .mobi sites need to be re-developed
and customized specifically for portable devices.
APDA has the technology and skills to deliver online content
onto mobile devices. We can convert your current website
to .mobi, or optimize existing website for mobile devices.
A few examples of ,mobi sites are:

RSS
Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is a lightweight XML format
designed for sharing headlines and other Web content.
RSS has evolved into a popular means of sharing content
between sites (including the BBC, CNET, CNN, Disney, Forbes,
Motley Fool, Wired, Red Herring, Salon, Slashdot, ZDNet,
and more). RSS solves myriad problems webmasters commonly
face, such as increasing traffic, and gathering and distributing
news. A few examples of sites using RSS are:
|
AJAX
Ajax, shorthand for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, is
a web development technique for creating interactive web
applications. The intent is to make web pages feel more
responsive by exchanging small amounts of data with the
server behind the scenes, so that the entire web page
does not have to be reloaded each time the user makes
a change. This is meant to increase the web page's interactivity,
speed, and usability. A few examples of sites using Ajax
technology are :
|
GPS Tracking
A GPS tracking unit is a device that uses the Global Positioning
System to determine the precise location of a vehicle,
person, or other asset to which it is attached and to
record the position of the asset at regular intervals.
Website owners can use these tools to pinpoint their customer,
or staff location, on the map. A few examples of sites
using GPS tracking are :
|
Web videos
A documentary depicted in a video can be more effective
then told directly to the listeners as they get to watch
and feel the happenings rather than just hearing them.
One of the great things about the Web is that there are
so many tools at our fingertips. We can use text, animated
graphics, photos, audio or video to tell a story. Video
is experiential, immersive, emotional – it puts
you at the scene, gives flavor and personality, and of
course, shows motion. There has been a huge surge in the
traffic to the sites offering video facilities. A few
examples of sites using Web Videos are :

SMS Integration
Short Message Service (SMS) for websites is a service
available on most digital mobile phones (and other mobile
devices, e.g. a Pocket PC, or occasionally even desktop
computers) that permits the sending of short messages
between mobile phones, and now even with websites. The
technology now enables for websites to send out messages
to theirs customer or staff by broadcasting short messages
to their mobiles phone. For example, if you receive an
enquiry on your website, it can be straightaway forwarded
to a mobile phone so it can be responded to quickly, without
having to check your e-mails or website. A few examples
of sites providing SMS technology are :
|
Web Poll
Polls are important because they can provide a way for
your web site visitors to share ideas and vote on topics
of your choice. An online poll helps build a sense of
community and establishes people's opinions that matter
most! Web polling or voting provides a great way to get
feedback from visitors to your site. A few examples of
sites providing Web Poll feature are :
Some of the sites using web poll:

Online Chat
Online Chat is a way that enables you to talk with your
loved ones and make new friends through internet. With
day to day developing technologies online chat with integration
of Flash enables you to see and talk to a person sitting
in some other country as if you both are sitting in front
of each other. It is great tool that can drive traffic
to your website, specially if you are encouraging sharing
or ideas or bringing people together. This feature is
very popular with matchmaking sites. A few examples of
sites providing online chat are:

Live Chat
With the increased demand for customer support in the
entire professional world live chat has become a crucial
medium for the organizations to provide their services
online. Live Chat is a technique that increases the service
responsiveness of the websites live chat enables you to

the buying process. Live chat is more scalable and less
expensive than phone support. Response time improves,

Blogs
A weblog, which is usually shortened to blog, is a type
of online diary or journal which allows one to voice their
opinion on something. Blogs often provide commentary or
news and information on a particular subject. A typical
blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs,
web pages, and other media.
Blogs are usually text based, but they can include photographs,
videos or audio (podcasting). Blogs can be presented in
a way that creates a conversation between users. A few

Forums
An Internet forum is a facility on the World Wide Web
for holding discussions, or the web application software
used to provide the facility. Web-based forums perform
a similar function as the dial-up bulletin boards and
Internet. A sense of virtual community often develops
around forums that have regular users. Technology, computer
games, and politics are popular areas for forum themes.
Internet forums are also commonly referred to as web forums,
message boards, discussion boards, discussion forums,
