Information Madness

Is it only me or anyone else is also feeing the same? All of a sudden every big giant is now jumping into mobile industry. Everybody want a piece of pie.

Clickjobs.com, a job portal, has also has announced the launch of its Jobs on Mobile. This feature helps job seekers to get SMS alerts on their mobile about relevant job vacancies. Users/Candidates will be able to view the job descriptions and would be able to apply for these positions using the short code 5050. This will be a free SMS based feature that aims to provide job seekers easy access to jobs even whey they are on the move.

Once user apply for the position using SMS, the candidate's resume will be automatically fethred from the database and will be emailed to the respective employer.

Looks like the whole world is now rushing to mobile industry. There are so many companies who are now focusing to go mobile.
 

Just before a week the sister company of Clickjobs.com, BharatMatrimony.com also launched “Voice Matrimony”, a mobile service that allows users to send and receive voice messages from prospects. Initially the service has been launched on Airtel, at 505050.

Another example is MakeMyTrip.com. MakeMyTrip has also launched mobile booking in a tie-up with mobile payment firm PayMate. The service will work by sending keywords to a short code (676778). For instance, sending the keywords FLY DELHI GOA 21 MAY will return the top five options for these parameters. Registered users of PayMate can make the booking directly through CitiBank by SMS and the rest can do so through IVRS (interactive voice response system), akin to what most banks have for tele-banking.(source:AgencyFAQ)

Same goes for ClearTrip (launched SMS based mobile search for flights) and TravelMartIndia (launched a mobile phone booking and payment service, the company announced in a statement on Wednesday. Cell phone users can browse flight schedules, make bookings and pay for their tickets using SMS. Wireless transactions platform provider Paymate powers the payment module).

So if everyone is running for the race, why not Indian Railways. Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has also launched IRCTCmobile, a graphical interactive interface for booking train tickets, for mobile phone users.

Looks like this is the future.
