How about posting those mobis that you own. Since they are worthless why don't you just give them away.

I'm sorry I guess I couldn't read your post from above.

"Maybe you should call Apple and ask them why they have .com on the Iphone browser keypad and not .mobi."

Do you suffer from memory loss as well?

another development firm is usablenet, they do the same thing sometimes. sometimes the website resolves to the .mobi website, for other clients it redirects, why? you would have to ask them. maybe it is on directions, maybe they they are being sneaky. main thing is the sites are out there and many are being actively promoted.

Thank you for taking the time to explain Pred... I honestly don't see the promoting that you guys do, the only promotion I see of .mobi is on Domain Forums.... Really.

I would, but Im afraid if I posted them here, they would receive the same response your dot mobi's are getting....
"NO" Response.

It appears you lost your way in this thread, Try reading post 19 and work your way forward to post 21, It may require some effort on your part, but I'm confident you can do it.

If you cant handle an ounce of criticism for .mobi, perhaps you should try investing in another extension.

Look....nobody cares if YOU see .mobi advertised anywhere. You do not matter to .mobi, owners of .mobis or anyone else related to the domain. You have proven you have no life at all because you spend the majority of your time in a .mobi forum that you aren't making money off of. My .mobis getting no response??? Do you have any idea what .mobis I have sold in the last 2 months??? I can handle criticism on anything. Unfortunately you aren't providing criticism you are only showing idiocracy. Grow up, find another hobby and if you feel your opinions have value then use them where you are making money. Since it's not .mobi according to you there isn't a need for you to be in this conversation. I know I don't spend the majority of my time working on projects that don't make money.

I would think you would care, If a domainer like myself cant see it, how is the public going to see or be aware of Mobi?.. Fact is they aren't and Obama's use of the TLD is going to bring little to no awareness to it. As I said before, Not even the wireless companies themselves use or promote .mobi and their the only one's selling handheld wireless devices.

The vast majority of .mobi purchases are speculative, Can you at least agree on that?

I dunno. Rumor has it that some of his devout followers (you know, the ones with their lips connected to his as*) believe he is the second coming of Lincoln. In which case he shouldn't need a running mate or mobi.

mediaadvantages, if I were you I wouldn't be concerned at all about what Raider says about the mobi names....she has belittled my green and alternative energy portfolio many times even while that sector has proven to be one of the hottest ones our there right now. Apparently everything is trash to her unless she has a stake in it...

I would invest in Green dot coms before investing in another .mobi.

If the "Green" sector is so HOT as you say, Please post or PM me your sales for 2008, just the names will do.
Seems the list of Green Domains you had last year looks identical to the list you have this year....hmmm

http://www.dnforum.com/f508/mobi-fir...ad-314756.html

Do you even understand what speculative even means??? Investing in any domain right now is speculative whether it is .com or .mobi. With a bad economy and prices continuing to drop you can't tell me that any money you put into the domain marketplace doesn't have a risk of losing money if you try to sale it. Only someone with the IQ of a box of rocks would make the statement you made.

Speculation (in a financial context) is the assumption of the risk of loss, in return for the uncertain possibility of a reward. Only if one may safely say that a particular position involves no risk may one say, strictly speaking, that such a position represents an "investment."

I really don't care if you hear about .mobi or not. I don't consider you a domainer only a naysayer with a hidden agenda who is not openminded.

Here is the definition of a domainer, "Domaining is the business of buying, selling, developing and monetizing Internet domain names not for use as a website, but like real estate."

I don't see anywhere in there where it says that .mobi can't be a part of domaining because you can't make money on it. I have sold 2 names for x,xxx each and 16 names for xxx each in the last month. I would say it has been a very very good return on my investment. Ohhhh I guess it must not be true though because YOU didn't hear about it.

I know you dont care and neither does MTLD, Just one of the reasons why .Mobi will FAIL.

OK, I do everyone one of these and can back it up... Now explain to me and everyone else why I'm not a domainer?, Without looking like an ignorant fool.

I'm happy for you, I just hope the resellers you sold them to aren't left holding the bag... As for me, last month I did mid xx.xxx in domain sales to endusers, Not bad for a naysaying non-domainer... Now considering you made less than I did, what exactly does that make you?

I don't believe the success or failure of mtld relies on you! Sorry to break your heart there but you really aren't as important as you might think.

As far as your sales....again, I could care less. You stated that money couldn't be made off of .mobi and I provided you with facts to disprove your statement. You should really try to to stay on the subject if you are going to be a naysayer. You have yet to even post what .mobis you own. Guessing they are pretty bad since you won't post them.

Actually don't worry about replying anymore even though I know you will because naysayers can't stop a conversation without having the last word. You are irrelevant to my business and .mobi and don't see a need to waste anymore of my time with you. Enjoy your day.

Talking

Raider,
you've gotta let them talk.
The mobi crowd is dead broke. There are no more allowances from mommy and they can't afford a shrink.

Excuse me??? I don't think you should be referring to my finances when you clearly have no clue. I run a very successful advertising agency and money is not an issue. I take offense to that statement and suggest you edit it.

I'd like to see some recent advertising campaigns using .mobi as the point of focus.
Like, on magazines, newspapers, or billboards. Nothing on the web.

I wonder which one is more dead: .mobi, .asia or .me?

Better tell General Motors that .mobi is dead, and that they should immediately remove www.saturn.mobi from the Internet. Yes, it resolves to a lengthier.com, so don't forget to tell them they should brand the lengthier .com, not the shorter .mobi. Hurry, tell them now!

Not sure what you mean, but clicking on the saturn.mobi URL I get redirected to GM.com

If you enter www.saturn.mobi into a browser, it forwards to gm.com.
If you only enter saturn.mobi into a browser, it forwards to http://saturn.enpocket.com/.

How can they do that?

Now you've reduced yourself to "Liar"... I never made such a statement and challenge you to quote it.

If your referring to the link to your mobi fire sale thread, where nobody showed any interest in your domains, Your giving your domains WAY to much credit... It doesn't necessarily mean that .mobi is the reason why... Perhaps it's because your choice of names suck, coupled with the fact that .mobi sales are on a decline. no?

Many .mobi investors who got in early made good profits from their .mobi's and I'm happy for all of them.

If I was ever hurting for money, Dot Mobi is the last TLD I would want in my portfolio to fall back on.
