Mdog is working to extend its reach in the mobile space by making several popular Web destinations mobile-accessible. New entries include eBay, craigslist and MySpace.

The company has secured deals with eBay, craigslist, Wikipedia, Citysearch and MySpace, which will render the sites for viewing on mobile devices. Mdog considers the additions a bonus for the company as well as wireless users since the mobile offering will give them real-time access to content, including auctions and classifieds.

The mdog portal allows users to browse these sites, as well as post content, read and make bids, if appropriate.

In the early part of January, mdog launched its Mobile Blogging Portal, which enables bloggers to post and read blog entries, upload photos and respond to comments from any Web-enabled mobile device, such as a Blackberry or Treo smartphone. The portal service is designed to ensure major blog services, such as Blogger, Wordpress, Typepad, Xanga, Blogs.com, AOL Blogs and Livejournal, are properly formatted for a Web-enabled mobile device.

Mdog.com touts its ability to work with all carrier networks and on all Web-enabled wireless devices, according to the company. The company does not charge a fee to use mdog services.

The company is gearing up to launch its Bingo! Mobile Search Engine. Bingo! will provide an intuitive mobile search for Web-enabled devices, according to the company.
