dotMobi buys up Mowser

dotMobi , the mobile domain name consortium, has hoovered up the IP and site, of Mowser , a service that has been publicly EOL'd (End-of-lifed) only recently. General opinion is that the buy-out is a good thing, with both parties ( here and here ) blogging that they are very happy with the end result. For those of you that don't know, Mowser is short for "Mobile Browser", and the website ( here ) offers you the ability to use it as a kind of "proxy portal", which reformats web content to work on a mobile browser. There are lots of these kinds of services about, but this one seems to work pretty well. dotMobi will integrate Mowser in to it's newly-announced find.Mobi service - which is a mobile search engine that you can reach by typing http://find.mobi/ (surprisingly enough!)
