Mimvi.com – A Search Engine For Mobile Apps
Presented by Kasian Franks (best-known for being the mastermind of music search portal SeeqPod), Mimvi is a new search platform that takes Franks’ technology for recommendation and personalization and applies it to the world of mobile applications.
That is, Mimvi can easily be defined as a portal for the discovery of mobile applications and content – and across most major devices and platforms at that.
As it currently stands, Mimvi will let you look up applications and content for iPhones, Blackberries and Android phones. The inclusion of results for Windows Mobile phones and iPads is being worked upon as of the time of writing this.
And in case you are interested in one platform only, you can give the vertical engines that are featured a good try.
When all is said and done, a specialized search engine such as this one just exemplifies the importance that the mobile industry has got today. It also stands as the first focused attempt to unify a scene that has always been characterized by its high degree of fragmentation.
