New Mobile Phone Search Services

A New Mobile Phone Search Service: "UpSnap is the brainchild of Tony Philipp, who built Lycos Europe and later worked with Vivisimo. Partners in the venture include web veterans Richard Jones from Fortunecity and Wendell Brown from Evoice...either from your SMS-enabled cell phone or via UpSnap.com. Simply type the name and location of a business you're trying to find and UpSnap returns directory information. Your phone does not need a browser or the ability to connect to the internet to use the service. The service is free and is supported by sponsored listingsPhilipp says that future services will include white pages, shopping comparison, search and tracking of eBbay auctions and other services...

The search via mobile phone space is suddenly heating up, with the launch of a number of new services this year. News Editor Gary Price will be taking a closer look at two promising services, Mobot and Evernote, in an upcoming issue of SearchDay."
