Searching For Mobile Search

An interesting perspective on mobile searches from Mike Masnick for TheFeature.com.

"[...] Mobile search is likely to be relevant to what people are physically doing at that moment. Renting a video? You immediately want reviews. Hungry? You want a place nearby where you can eat, including reviews and whether or not they can seat you right away. Bit by a snake? You want to know if it's poisonous. A mobile search isn't so much a search for general information, but a search that is somehow related to the non-mobile phone activity you're involved in at the moment".
