New Technology in Web Development – .mobi and Web Videos
.Mobi is a New technology which is empowering the businesses to enhance the online presence of a web site. These new technologies give web site owners a boost in their business.
Mobi Websites
Mobi, also known as DotMobi, is a top-level domain extension recently approved by ICANN and managed by the mTLD global registry dedicated to delivering the Internet to mobile devices via the Mobile Web. It is financially backed by world’s largest companies such as Google, Microsoft, Nokia, Samsung, Ericsson, Vodafone, Hutchison and VISA.
.mobi websites are optimized for viewing on smaller screens such as mobile phone, PDAs, and smart phones. Due to small viewable area, and lack of download speed, .mobi websites are optimized with simplicity and faster download time.
With the rapid surge in the sale of mobile and heldheld devices worldwide, there is no doubt that the mobile content is going to be the next big thing with the mobile phone users. Already companies are paying more than $100,000 for buying .mobi domains (Flowers.mobi sold for $200,000) indicating huge potential for this medium. However, the challenge is that .mobi sites need to be re-developed and customized specifically for portable devices.
There are some Web Design Company that have the technology and skills to deliver online content onto mobile devices. They effectively convert your current website to .mobi, or optimize existing website for mobile devices. A few examples of ,mobi sites are:
Web videos
A documentary depicted in a video can be more effective then told directly to the listeners as they get to watch and feel the happenings rather than just hearing them. One of the great things about the Web is that there are so many tools at our fingertips. We can use text, animated graphics, photos, audio or video to tell a story. Video is experiential, immersive, emotional – it puts you at the scene, gives flavor and personality, and of course, shows motion. There has been a huge surge in the traffic to the sites offering video facilities. A few examples of sites using Web Videos are :

Help answer the question about mobile web design
What's a good open source website gallery app?I'm building a website for alumni from my college to upload and share photos from various theater productions at the school. I'm currently using my MobileMe, which is great – it's got a simple design, and allows people to upload and download full size images.
The problem is it's my personal account, and it's filling up my 20 gigs of space included with the service rather quickly. It also is causing major slowness syncing with iPhoto each time I open it.
I want something I can store on my server space. I've tried Gallery:
http://gallery.menalto.com/
It's just not nearly as user friendly.
Does anyone know of any free gallery apps that are similar to Mobile Me's gallery? I'd consider looking at paying for an app, but since it's a personal site that makes no income, I'd prefer open source or free.
I would also consider a web service that allows multiple galleries, but I'd like to avoid services that would require everyone to sign up to upload pictures. I want this to be as easy for my alumni friends as possible.
Keep in mind, I have a basic knowledge of web design and management, but I'm by no means a professional. I'd love an app that I can just FTP to the server and then run through some basic setup procedures.
