Acquisition is another way to provide a complete range of mobile content creation solutions for businesses of all sizes.

dotMobi, a company behind the .mobi internet domain name for mobile phones and the dev.mobi developer forum, today announced it has acquired the intellectual property assets of Mowser, a San Mateo, Calif.-based mobile browsing company.

It claims that the acquisition of Mowser’s technology, developed by Bay Area mobile pioneers Russell Beattie and Michael Rowehl, is another way for the company to provide a complete range of mobile content creation solutions for businesses of all sizes.

The company states that it plans to integrate Mowser technology into new business-grade and consumer-grade mobile development tools as well as include aspects of it into their content creation tools like find.mobi, DeviceAtlas and ready.mobi, all of which help businesses more easily create device-aware mobile content.

James Pearce, dotMobi Vice President of Technology, said, “When Mowser’s founders decided to make the assets available, dotMobi was first in line to acquire them. The work Russell and Mike put into making Mowser a ‘best of breed’ product is well-known throughout the industry. Being able to add that technology into dotMobi’s product line is exciting because it will exponentially stimulate mobile content growth.”

“At its heart, Mowser is a PC website-to-mobile website content adaptation engine,” said Trey Harvin, CEO of dotMobi. “dotMobi has been vocal against ‘blind’ content adaptation because it doesn’t allow site owners to have control over their content. dotMobi believes that brands and businesses should always have the final say over how their material is presented, and that the content should uniquely take advantage of the capabilities of a mobile device. This has been one of our core philosophies all along, and something dotMobi is looking forward to addressing with the integration of the Mowser assets into the dotMobi product line.”

Committed to improving the online experience of the .ORG Community, it has created a comprehensive library of information, interactive tools, examples and guides to help community members harness the power of the Internet and social networks to advance their mission, claims the Registry.

The Registry states that .ORG Resource Center will serve as a guide through the many uses of .ORG, a non-restricted, versatile global domain name, along with examples of websites where one can see the numerous ways .ORG domain names are being used today. In addition, there is a wide variety of resources available, including social networking tools, wiki building software, fundraising gadgets for websites, technology resources for nonprofit organizations, best practices in web marketing, website building tools, and a number of other easy and useful free widgets for websites.

It declared that along with the .ORG Resource Center it includes the .ORG Featured Partner Program, made up of companies with the experience to be a trusted provider to the .ORG Community. Featured Partners are highlighted with a link to their website as well as an in-depth description of their company, products and services.

“The trends such as collaboration, community building, micro-donations and grassroots advocacy are all ones that fit right in with the values of the .ORG community,” says Director of Marketing Lance Wolak. “We are simply aligning proven tools to help our customers further enhance the viability and effectiveness of their .ORG websites.”

“Social media’s ability to facilitate engagement, self expression and communication is a tremendously powerful weapon for .ORGs,” said Jeff Zaretsky, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships and Business Development at KickApps. “KickApps’ vision is based largely on making the power of social media as accessible as possible to every web publisher seeking to grow their website’s audience. We’re very excited to be included in the partner program and look forward to helping .ORGs further their mission.”
