You need a .Mobi? Use mobi.example.com moron!

The internet is funny in that it gives people courage they would otherwise not have in person. I wonder how many of these things would be said face to face? Is this how you talk to your 3d clients or competitors? It's rhetorical.

Punks; that's who I see here.

I agree! I myself stooped low for this transgression not too long ago. Sometime we hit back because we feel it is justified.

Are we saying the seller who made $119k and and the buyer who got these names are idiots?

No one knows what will happen with .mobi...

If Bill was so smart, he would have had search cornered by now.

.Mobi is a calculated, educated gamble and a risk. But in life, what isn't?

Yes, it's a keyword sale. Stocks.junk and Girls.junk would probably sell for equally as much. The TLD is irrelevant.

I disagree. The other tlds other than .com don't garner near the hype or money.

[movingconcierge]

I worship IDN and .mobi. Dot coms are for losers.

If you have to put down others to feel good about yourself, you're a loser.

How do I get my money back for platinum membership. This forum sucks.

[Nova]

Low prices for both, just like what happened with realestate.mobi and musicvideos.mobi. Each here should have gone for at least $xxx,xxx.

Europe anyone?

[domainah]

the buyer of .mobi couldnt even say why he bought those domains really beyond saying oouu uuhh oo its .mobi..its gonna be great...the mobile technology is huge...its stocks...aah uhh...what a joke..just a guy with too much money to spend..maybe he needed a tax-writeoff...stocks.mobi for 70k..thats some bad investment right there..great for the seller though..congrats...

You just reminded me of that fact as well: the technology progresses quite fast these days. In 5 years all mobile devices will be powerful, miniature PC's with flexible, full-color hi-def screens.

This may be true, but its not the technology working on .mobi, it is an access to mobile technology. Its presentation. You may see it as a hype, ok, good. Others see it as a good idea. While you may look down on .mobi, it is much better than getting a long and windy .com. Everyday there are many mobile website companies developing. They need the users to access the mobile internet websites that they own. Before .mobi was launched, the mobile website companies used (and still use .am, .in, .info, etc). Also they use QRcodes and "mailmag" (mail magazines) to get their users to them.
While it seems that the only mobile websites are on official carriers where you are, there is a huge explosion of mobile websites here in Asia.

I do NOT agree with .mobi's standardization of what kind of language should be used with .mobi. This limits the techmology that can be used with mobile devices. Forwarding .mobi to a .com would be great. DoCoMo's phones use cHTML, and Softbank and AU use cHTML and xHTML. So we have to use RTHML (Ruby) And honesly, the set standard we have to go by with .mobi is damn stupid. Why does Asia (more mobile users than the Western Hemisphere) have to go by a stupid standard!? So forwarding works well.

I think that Arcoplex (for whom i cannot speak for) is just making fun of anyone who regged .mobi. I admit, i love his sense of humor. And as you can see, he has a lot of dnf$. Sometimes the topic goes off of .mobi and just goes to him. So lets get back to .mobi.

So if you have a premium .mobi name, you can redirect to .com or .info or whatever. "premium.whatever" is good enough. And if you are trying to get traffic from mobile users NOT PC USERS, having a .mobi would benefit you more.

Once i get my darn MobileDesigner account back, ill write more. If you wanna see magazines specifically for mobile websites, please wait until i get my account back and wait until Monday Tokyo time and i will take some pics and show all of you.

LOL. So true

Sorry, I was taking a piss.

Done smoking your doobie, dutchie?

Your .mobi's are crap. I mean, even as crap as the .mobi extension goes, they are the worst I've seen around.

Gotta go, it's Happy Hour time!

The funniest thing i have read today. Thankyou

Going back to the subject:

Great News!

Thanks Dotmobiz
Thanks Pred

You are more than welcome young sir

Its seriously hilarious the way people like acro and all these mobi haters think. top keyword names in all extensions do not sell for 5 and 6 figures when the extension is new. List all the .info, .us, .name, .ws, etc that sold for 6 figures within the first 6 months. I dont even think there has been any names in any of those extensions that has sold for 6 figures EVER and those extensions are old. These 2 mobi names are worth a lot more than the names you have in your signature and you still make fun of it. Mobi haters are just pissed that they were too stupid to invest in mobi from the beginning so now they just want the whole thing to fail so they can feel better about their mistakes. You are saying that only the top keywords are worth owning in any extension and that those names get taken right away. So are you saying it is too late for anyone to invest in any domain name in any extension then since everything good was taken so long ago?

so true
basically , so many mobi haters have invested in .cc & .ws & all that crap, they didn't do their homework & missed the boat. it thrills me
what they are accusing people of, they are directly guilty of, anyone who cannot be happy for fellow dudes in the same game are weak people imo.
that's right weak.
it's not too late, there are some amazing deals on the aftermarket still
but wait, it's not all mobi
com,,org.,.net,.info will always be huge
do not feel threatened, i'm involved in those too
just stop denying the inevitable, it's embarrassing

SO TRUE! Pred is 1,0000000% correct!

[PRED]

you know it

what i'll say is, to 'professional' domain brokers is, even if you have zero faith in .mobi, & you think it will crash next month, as you have been predicting from day one, why have you made zero $ out of the extension?
at least 'x' did a 'hit & run job', as much as i think that was illfounded
not doing too well, are you?
.mobi has a future. that should concern you

[namewaiter]

.mobi haters are always comparing .mobi to .eu, .cc, .biz, etc. saying, 'well keywords are keywords .. they will always be valuable...'

i have a questions for these .mobi haters - have you ever seen nba.cc, nba.eu, nba.biz - statefarm.eu, statefarm.cc, statefarm.biz - foxnews.eu, foxnews.cc ahh you get the picture, the .mobi list will continue to grow and with it so will it's popularity!

How do I get my money back for platinum membership. This forum sucks.

You're wrong, these threads are the best thing about the forum. Doesn't matter what side you're on.

lol this forum doesn't suck.... you do... (what you suck is debatable (alluding to lolipops)) .... if this forum sucks so bad, screw your membership fee and never come back- doubt you would add anything to the site anyways.


Sidenote:

Pred, keep up the good work. I've spent 18 hours domaining today and its good to see you and Duckinla still going. Makes my day worthwhile to know there are folks as dedicate as you two to an effort that means bullocks. (Can't belive I actually used that word as a proud Yankee).



To namewaiter:

YOu ever think that mtld just have a better short term sales tactic then the for mentioned cctlds? I would rather spend money on the newly ICANN accepted .TEL then .mobi.... you might want to consider the same.

[Acro]

I think that Arcoplex (for whom i cannot speak for) is just making fun of anyone who regged .mobi. I admit, i love his sense of humor. And as you can see, he has a lot of dnf$.

I don't make fun of anyone who registered .mobi domains; only these that are a) oblivious to how any domain gold rush works b) unable to understand mobile telephony has no need of a separate TLD to function 100%

I sold my DNF$ - maybe I should invest in FauxNews.mobi?

[Duckinla]

People who reply so negatively to .mobi do so because they are self-proclaimed know-it-alls or they are scared that .mobi will effect their other investments somehow.

To summarize, they are either arrogant, afraid or both.

I don't think arrogance is the right word. When you've seen a movie enough times, eventually you become pretty confident how it will end. Not arrogant, confident. I think I've seen this movie a couple times before.

no, i think .mobi speaks to a new / emerging application, the mobile web, and NO it isn't needed as an extension. some simply say it's just branding, and i kind of agree, but branding or not, if it continues to be used as the mobile version of popular sites it will create it's niche and value.
