About Malaysia Airlines, from Wikipedia:

Malaysia Airlines (MAS) (Malay: Sistem Penerbangan Malaysia; Chinese: ????????; MYX: 3786) is the government-owned flag carrier airline of Malaysia. Malaysia Airlines operates flights from its home base, Kuala Lumpur International Airport, and its secondary hub in Kota Kinabalu. It has its headquarters on the grounds of Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah International Airport in Subang, Selangor.
Despite a financial restructuring exercise in 2006, Malaysia Airlines maintains a strong presence in Southeast Asia, East Asia, South Asia, Middle East and on the Kangaroo Route between Europe and Australasia. Malaysia Airlines also operated transatlantic flights from Kuala Lumpur to Newark, via Stockholm until October 2009. It operates transpacific flights from Kuala Lumpur to Los Angeles, via Taipei. In 1997, the airline flew the world’s longest non-commercial, non-stop flight from Boeing Field in Seattle to Kuala Lumpur, flying eastward passing the European and African continents and breaking the Great Circle Distance Without Landing record for an airliner on a Boeing 777-200ER longer than the record held by the Boeing 777-200LR.
Malaysia Airlines non-aeronautical revenue sources include maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), and aircraft handling. Malaysia Airlines has two airline subsidiaries: Firefly and MASwings. Firefly operates scheduled flights from its home base Penang International Airport which focus on tertiary cities, while MASwings focuses on inter-Borneo flights. Malaysia Airlines has a freighter fleet operated by MASKargo, which manages freighter flights and aircraft cargo-hold capacity for all Malaysia Airlines’ passenger flights. MASCharter is another subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines, operating charter flights using Malaysia Airlines’ aircraft. After recovering from past losses, Malaysia Airlines is keen on merger and acquisition (M&A) activities: particularly airlines in the Asia Pacific region. Malaysia Airlines was ranked second with score 88 in Aviation Week’s Top Performing Companies which accurately measures financial viability of an airline.
Since its inception in 1963, after Malayan Airways was separated into two parts, Malaysia Airlines has built up a strong brand name in the aviation industry for service and safety , coupled with numerous awards from international bodies such as Skytrax. Malaysia Airlines is accredited by International Air Transport Association with IOSA (IATA Operational Safety Audit) for its operational safety practices.
It is one of only six airlines to be given a 5-star status airline by Skytrax (the other 5 are Asiana Airlines from South Korea, Cathay Pacific from Hong Kong, Qatar Airways from Qatar, Singapore Airlines from Singapore and Kingfisher Airlines from India). Malaysia Airlines is also listed among Skytrax’s Quality Approved Airlines, alongside fellow 5-star carriers Asiana Airlines, Kingfisher Airlines and Qatar Airways .

Arrive Alive Road Safety Initiative (AARSI), is a duly accredited, non-governmental organization with the fundamental objectives of saving lives through enhancements of road safety awareness and ultimately, road safety culture among the citizenry.
The AARSI is committed to the awareness, adoption and observance of global road safety practices towards reduction of the huge annual losses in human and material resources through accidents on our roads. It proposes to do this through a combination of policy and legislative reform advocacy and the execution of road safety actions, in collaboration with appropriate Government Agencies, which would be funded by the private sector, donor agencies and the international road safety community.

UK Met Office launch mobile site: MetOfficeMobile.mobi

The UK Met Office is perhaps the most respected meteorological & weather reporting site on the planet. Their official pc based site is & has an alexa rank of 6,801

They were savvy enough to register all major extensions, and all the .com, .info, .org, .org.uk , .co.uk etc. variants point to their www.metoffice.gov.uk site

With 2 exceptions. They own metoffice.mobi & metofficemobile.mobi . The first domain is a redirect to their stand alone mobile site at metofficemobile.mobi

A screenshot of the mobile site’s homepage can be seen below:

The Met Office, ‘about themselves’…………..

“We are one of the world’s leading providers of environmental and weather-related services. Our solutions and services meet the needs of many communities of interest… from the general public, government and schools, through broadcasters and online media, to civil aviation and almost every other industry sector - in the UK and around the world.

Customers are the top priority for the Met Office, whether the general public, or a company.

Our staff, customers and visitors are encouraged to use environmentally sustainable means of travel to visit Met Office locations.

We are committed to meeting our objectives in a sustainable way and acting in a positive manner in our dealings with our staff, customers, suppliers and the wider community.”

Better still, when searching for ‘met office mobile’ on Google, it displays the metofficemobile.mobi site with the top results, along with pc site pages of promotion for the .mobi site. Personally I think they should have run with the shorter metoffice.mobi url, but I guess it’s just to help the public, in their eyes.

google results

Again, they tell people on their mobile site as you would expect : metofficemobile.mobi/url

I would like to see a simple text link ‘mobile’ or an icon on their pc site on the homepage to educate their visitors to their pc site, so they are more aware of the mobile version when out and about, however they do have a page dedicated to promoting the mobile site www.metoffice.gov.uk/media/mobilevideo.html

See below………………..

We found the site clean, slick, easy to use and navigate. I hope they build the site out even further, and look forward to even more promotion also. Radio adverts would be great. Even banner ads on mobile sites also, like weather.mobi used in their campaigns.

Orlando.mobi launched! Orlando Mobile

orlando.mobi is now live!

Our first instinct is to say what a beautiful, easy to navigate mobile site. With Florida attracting over 45 million tourists every year, Orlando was crying out for a defacto mobile site for it’s visitors, who are, let’s face it, mainly on the go!

The site scores 5/5 with Ready.mobi and loads instantly on your mobile phone. Mobile visitors can find all relevant information at their fingertips including, Weather, Restaurants, News, Things to do, & of course hotels.

In fact tourists can choose from over 80,000 hotels worldwide when accessing Lodging.mobi which is the mobile site that powers the accommodation search and provision.

We hope you enjoy exploring  we believe the best and most useful  orlando mobile site on the web.

Arrivedok.mobi Flight Tracker launched

ArrivedOK Flight Arrival Tracker Goes Commercial

http://www.arrivedOK.mobi Offers Monetization to Travel Social Networks, Provides Air Companies With New Ancillary Revenue Service and Customer Loyalty Tool

(http://www.arrivedok.mobi/hello), the personal flight arrival tracker finishes the phase of public beta and goes commercial now. ArrivedOK tracks air travelers’ cell phones in a mobile network when it is turned on after landing and instantly sends those tailored ‘Arrived OK’ messages to the designated recipients via SMS, email, and social media.

The automated flight plan systems do not provide accurate reporting about flight arrivals all the time, which was demonstrated on November 19, 2009 when the glitch in US air traffic control network caused flight delays across the nation. Unlike other tracking services that use centralized flight status data, ArrivedOK tracks one’s actual appearance in the destination airport using individual mobile phone status.
“Even as a paid service, ArrivedOK SMS alerts allow the subscribers bypassing the heavy international roaming charges.” - says Andrey Deriabin, Director Business Development at arrivedOK.mobi Inc. “However, we’d like to make it completely free for the end users. So we are working on B2B partnerships that would allow subsidizing the mobile traffic generated by our subscribers. During the public beta phase we received very promising responses from air companies, which look for new opportunities in a time of economic hardship. While discount airlines primarily see ArrivedOK as a source of ancillary revenue, “majors” also consider it as customer loyalty tool, willing to subsidize the service to their frequent flyers.”
ArrivedOK also provides monetization opportunity to travel websites and startups. “There are a lot of travel-related social networking projects seeking monetization.” - says Andrey Deriabin. “ArrivedOK perfectly matches their audience. We’re currently doing test integration with selected sites, and will make ArrivedOK API publicly available until the end of the year via http://partners.arrivedok.mobi”
ArrivedOK has been selected as a Webby Awards 2009 Official Honoree in two categories: Best Use of GPS or Location Technology and Experimental & Innovation. The service is currently available worldwide except for the subscribers of the US and Chinese mobile networks.

M & S Launch Wallace & Gromit Inspired Mobile Site (.mobi)

Marks & Spencer is launching a Wallace & Gromit inspired mobile website gift service to help shoppers select and buy the right Christmas presents for themselves or their friends. M&S secured the rights to the Aardman characters to promote its ecommerce offering this Christmas.

Developed, built and hosted by M&S’s mobile agency Incentivated, the made-for-mobile site features a
Wallace & Gromit Gift & Cheese profiler, a wacky invention of Gromit’s which asks shoppers questions of themselves and their friends. Depending on the answers, the profiler creates a ‘cheese’ profile (e.g.“Ravishing Roquefort”, “Wild Wensleydale”, “Gorgeous Gouda” etc) and produces up to five suitable M&S gift suggestions with prices and product codes.

The shopper can then forward their wishlist or suggestions to a friend via MMS (picture message) and a link to the personalised WAPsite. The shopper also receives an email with deep-links to the M&S website where the gift(s) can be bought.

Visitors can download screensavers and wallpapers and ‘vCalendar’ mobile reminders with last dates to buy gifts for delivery before Christmas, each depending on the destination and type of delivery. Data downloads for the site have been zero-rated by the networks, making browsing free to the user.

M&S is introducing the Wallace & Gromit Gift & Cheese profiler to existing customers via SMS with embedded links to the mobile site, and is promoting the service with mobile banner advertising, direct mail print ads which will carry a text call to action, and via Twitter and Facebook.

The site uses original Aardman images as well as Incentivated creative. To view the site, text GO to 65006 or visit wag.mands.mobi.

Jonathan Bass, Managing Director at Incentivated, comments: “We’ve had great fun working on this campaign. Wallace & Gromit and mobile marketing are the perfect partners for M&S – inventive, quirky and appealing to the whole family. This campaign illustrates the power of mobile in engaging customers,
generating advocacy and driving sales, and shows M&S once again as a true innovator with mobile marketing”. [/quote]
