Brownbook.net already list over 27 million businesses, but any business can add itself for free if it’s not already there; ensuring that they don’t miss out on the rapidly rising number of mobile internet users. Anyone can take a look at brownbook mobile by visiting www.brownbook.net on their mobile phone. They’ll be automatically directed to the mobile version of Brownbook.net (http://m.brownbook.net)
Businesses need to take advantage of the growth in mobile internet usage. “The change of pace in business is getting faster all the time. Just as businesses have got to grips with the Internet along comes something new! The situation is worse for small and local businesses who need to focus on running their business and not on becoming technology experts.” Says Marc Lyne, COO of Brownbook.net.
Mobile internet growth and accessibility can be further attributed to the latest generation of mobile phones from well known brands like; Nokia, Samsung, Motorola and of course Apple with its breathtaking new 3G iPhone. More and more people are using their mobiles to access the internet whilst on the move and the attraction of instant information, music, videos, maps, and local business information is turning the ‘mobile internet’, into an opportunity that few businesses can ignore.
