This year ADO had the great opportunity to be the mobile consultant for the event. We decided to first focus on the Canadian Music Fest with the CMW team by mobifying their website- see http://www.mobify.me and also added the text search functionality for any artist, venue at the event.  The way it works is to TEXT ” Venue or Artist Name” to 898 898 ( Standard-Rates apply, no additional cost service).   This service will only work in Canada, but it is a fully functional service for over 600 bands and 50 venues linking them back to the CanadianMusicfest.com mobile-view of the online website from your mobile phone. By texting “CMF” to 898 898, you will get a link to the home page of the mobile-view.

The mobify.me product is unique in that there is no mobile website created. The service works so that a web designer is in full control of the lay-out of the site when it is hit by different mobile browsers. This enables a one-web/two-view of the site ( Online view, and mobile view). We also added a mobile-tab page in the main Canadianmusicfest.com site to for users to get the mobile-view as a Text-push and also register for alerts during the event. We do not plan on having many alerts this year unless there is a sponsor. If you are interested in sponsoring, please contact Mary Simon’s Sponsorship@cmw.net.   Below is an example of the mobile site.
