Zumobi, the firm that licenses technology from Microsoft research has found out a novel way to bring in advertising and also to enhance user search experience over the web.
Browsing from the mobile phone is gaining traction but the traditional methods are not exactly best for the right experience. With a limited screen size and bandwidth, research is required in the area of alternative user experiences for the mobile internet.
Zumobi's technology consists of presenting the web to the user in the form of 'tiles' that are the sites that the user has selected. New services are added as new tiles and users can also program and share tiles across mobiles.
The tiles carry on them the advertisements, hence keeping away a lot of clutter from the browsing experience. The SDK for software development is available for free and can be downloaded at Zumobi's website.
