Sorry, INSP didnt sell Motricity their mobile metasearch content which is same as their online content- if this happened Motricity would have aquired all of INSP. Motricity acquired mobile search infrastructure- not content. Carriers decide on the content – not the vendor.

Indeed – INSP is hardly done with mobile search. A grand plan is at hand – and visible to all in due course.

Brendan Benzing, InfoSpace VP of Mobile Search

InfoSpace is setting its sites – and wisely so – on search.

OK, now I’m really confused. INSP sold their Mobile Services Business, which I assumed included Mobile Search. But the Blog above states that, “[Infospace] can now channel their efforts into winning at mobile search.”

So, is INSP still in mobile search business or not?

Secondly, Brendan Benzing says, “We are very excited about this transaction…” By this “we”, I assume Brendan means Motricity, which implies he now works for them?

Clarification???
