Do you want your site url to be one of the first ones people see at Starbucks when they fire up their Mac and Mocha? Have a MiFi mobile hotspot, or does your computer broadcast its name via Bluetooth? Broadcast your url by naming your mobile hotspot SSID or computer whatever url you want to promote. Anyone within range will see your site’s url when they are searching for wireless access. For example name your computer or MiFi mydomain.com and see it populate when a network search is conducted. You are sure to attract eyeball time at all the hip and happening joints that provide Wi-Fi access.
Want to go to the next level? Virgin Mobile just announced a prepaid Mi-Fi. The MiFi line of mobile hotspots has become an affordable option to the wireless aircards that have been the staple of mobility over the last few years. Now, for a small fee you can purchase one, then surreptitiously, install it near a location of high mobile traffic; Starbucks, a downtown cafe, the trunk of your car, etc. It’s prepaid so no contract of course, but you can do this with post paid as well. It just seems to make sense going prepaid. I’d love to hear your ideas and thoughts. How can I build on this concept? Let me know in the comments.
