I don't use www. on any domains mobiile or pc but at the end of the day it really is a personal choice and won't much as the one you don't use will have a redirect to the other.

thing.com/m/ also has advantages in sharing cookies saved logins, etc with the ready of thing.com.

I wouldn't put the mobile optimized pages on a different site (m.thing.com) without a good specific reason for doing so.

On that topic, one thing to avoid, something I fine terribly annoying, is redirecting thing.com/whatever to just m.thing.com. GFY does that, so for example you can't follow links to threads or any otter pages. If you're going to redirect, redirect to the right page like this:

RewriteRule (.*) /m/$1

Or:
RewriteRule (.*) http://m.thing.com/$1

see if you can get a short domain example site sexygirls.com with mobile site sxygrl.com .. and of course m.sexygirls.com would auto direct to sxygrl.com just use a script to do the detection

mod_rewrite :1orglaugh; that is so Mickey Mouse and slows the server ...

It can be easily done in the DNS template for the site (the correct way);

Code:

$TTL 14400

domain-name.com.        86400        IN        SOA        ns1.domain-name.com.        emailname.hotmail.com.        (

                                                2011110109 ;Serial Number

                                                86400 ;refresh

                                                7200 ;retry

                                                3600000 ;expire

                                                86400 ;minimum

        )

domain-name.com.        86400        IN        NS        ns1.domain-name.com.

domain-name.com.        86400        IN        NS        ns2.domain-name.com.

domain-name.com.        14400        IN        A        100.100.100.100

localhost        14400        IN        A        127.0.0.1

domain-name.com.        14400        IN        MX        0        domain-name.com.

mail        14400        IN        CNAME        domain-name.com.

www        14400        IN        CNAME        domain-name.com.

ftp        14400        IN        A        100.100.100.100

ns1        14400        IN        A        100.100.100.100

ns2        14400        IN        A        200.200.100.100

m.domain        14400        IN        A        100.100.100.100

www.m.domain        14400        IN        A        100.100.100.100



{....}_EOF_

Either sub-domain.com or www.sub-domain.com will work this way -- www is a "sub-domain" in itself so sub-domain.sub-sub-domain.domain.tld really makes little sense IMHO.

Going with the shorter name is good advice as is using a script to detect mobile users and redirect them to the mobile site/domain or have a link to let them choose the mobile or full version of a site.
