Mobifun’s Weblog

Original mobile content publisher Cellfish Media announced the launch of Cellfish.com, a cross-portal social network and entertainment destination portal enabling consumers to play, share and store multimedia content between mobile devices and PCs.

According to Cellfish, the portal provides consumers storage for mobile photos and videos in a free “locker”–users may also upload content from their handsets for immediate retrieval from their locker, broadcast it to other phones or publish it on their Cellfish web page. In addition, the service allows consumers to synchronize contacts and media for retrieval at any time from their handset or PC. Cellfish.com also offers premium downloads including music and video clips, RSS feeds and user-generated content.

“We believe there’s a lack of stand-alone mobile brands that resonate with consumers,” said Cellfish Media CEO Fabrice Sergent. “Cellfish.com’s ambition is to unite many of these assets into one central destination that improves the mobile experience and pushes entertainment into a new era.”

On the eve of the day of reckoning for the most-hyped gadget in recent memory, eager customers lined up Thursday, a few even braving torrential rain, to be among the first to get their hands on the coveted new cell phone from Apple Inc.

The gadget, which combines the functions of a cell phone, iPod and wireless Web browser, will go on sale in the United States at Apple and AT&T stores at 6 p.m. Friday in each time zone.

It’s been the focus of endless anticipatory chatter and even parodied on late-night TV. It’s hogged so much of the media spotlight, a St. Paul, Minn., minor league baseball team planned to spoof its porcine mascot by selling a real ‘iPig.’

“This phone is going to blow everything out of the water,” Tony Cecchini, 40, a San Antonio, Texas, air conditioner salesman said while braving a downpour to wait outside an AT&T store Thursday morning.

Endeca is going to be the next billion-dollar company in Boston. They are focusing on enterprise search, which very few people pay attention to because it’s not sexy like Web search…And I think they will go public soon,” said Dodge.

Endeca, a company that offers customized search engines for the enterprise, among other services, will do about $100 million in revenue this year, according to Don Dodge, a manager of search and the director of business development for Microsoft’s emerging business team.

Who do you think are the next big search companies to watch? Who’s going to go public? How are we going to monetize video search? Is it better to be a video search engine, or allow people to watch the video on your site once they find it?

But why are they so expensive ??? are they any kind of brand names ?? no !! remeber that domain name are now bought as anadvertising tools rather beinga brand name. In theory, your Web site could simply list a bunch of URLs leading to other sites that do sell paper cups; every time someone clicks one of those links, you collect a royalty–just as Google does with its AdWords service. Social networks like News Corp.’s (nyse: NWS - news - people ) MySpace and Facebook operate on this same ad-based principle.
