It's renewal time, What are you doing with your .Mobi's?

[Dale Hubbard]

As they say, "I'm out".

Actually, there are new opportunities. The .uk market is 10% of the .com and growing like (how to put into an Americanism) like wildfire...

DNF have just affiliated with us.

browser recognition sounded the death knell. Ancient punt and all losers I think. Just my 2c.

if this was true sites wouldnt be advertising mDOT and /mobile and any other of the many naming systems.

browser recognition can be very very annoying if you for some reason do not want to go to the mobile version of the site... they basically trap you.. which is why various naming systems like mDOT, /mobile, etc are thriving..

i'm done and Doc Com wins by filibuster!

[Dale Hubbard]

Any site that's worth its salt can redirect a browser request. Do you need an example? If you don't want to use a different browser. Sheesh...

thats my point... any site can do this but the trend is using a different address or subdomain. this is what is happening right now. you dont get to choose your browser on a mobile device.. almost all are closed systems. might be a good idea to double check these things before you comment about em. or there is always sticking to commenting about what you know about. sheesh...

[Dale Hubbard]

I capitulate mjnels. You know far more than me...

[mjnels]

sarcasm aside, its not necessary to know far more in this case. only basics..

this is why its fun to stick to commenting on the things we know at least a little bit about.

There are no winners -

or losers.

Just be aware of changing market conditions.

If people want to treat domains as a commodity (they do) or an investment (they do) then it becomes crucial to know all the influences and detractors in that market.

That, my comrades, is new business 101.

Anything can make something en vogue and take it of favor in a matter of seconds.

I don't understand this.

Who is to blame if something does not fit or work yet you buy it?

What does that name say to me?

geds. What ever the hell a ged is

IF you wanted it to say GED as in the General Equivilency Diploma or what ever it was to be, then you should have built a site to make reference to GED's.

Then what?

Where to get GED?
How much does it cost?
Study?
Tutor?
Online?
Mobile?
Certification?
State requirements x 50?
Testing centers?
Hours?
How long does it take?

Now, you want to sell geds and you want someone else to do all that work for you.

You don't want to build a site. You never wanted to build a site. You did not get GED for the sake of G>E>D but you got the next best thing (in your mind). And just because you have it others should want it and the offers should come pouring in because everyone should see in it what you see in it.

Bah

I see four letters geds that mean nothing and say nothing.

Did you want this for GED's?

Then you missed your chance.

Why?

Had you built a site, you had little competition from the non mobi counterparts:

geds com - parked
geds net - private schools
geds org - private school
geds info - a GED site! Test prep and every thing!
geds.us - parked

I say we sue you for stupidity of selecting letters that others didn't see as you did.

Or perhaps we sue the human race for being so stupid and blatantly in need of a GED for not seeing things the way you do.

Here - why didn't you reg these?

I say that we condemn you to eternal stupidity for missing your chance to corner the market on geds by leaving some unregged.

Kind of like the "hanging chad" thing - it doesn't really count unless there is nothing left.

This has got to be the post of the year

LMAO!!!

[Gerry]

I know you lost 700 .mobis pal.

I would welcome a war of words but I have issues trying to find people who can string words together to create a cohesive sentence.

Lost?

Lost nothing.

You are unable to disect sarcasm from truth which someone correctly pointed out in this thread.

A class action lawsuit?

Lordy, lordy. Promises unkept?

What the hell is this?

I know the many gals and men that fear you and they tell me never mess with you or you will hurt me on all of my post via your words but I strongly don't advise ever trying. I will get even 1000 times over!!! I will win (lawsuit) and I am 100% sure. So keep your mouth to yourself sonny boy.

Mercy, been a long time I've been called sonny boy. What are you, 75 years old or some.

You
will
win
a
lawsuit.

Halleluiah!

Amen!

You'll get even a thousand times over.

Man, that's a bunch.

I would give anything to see some of these people on this forum in real life.

I would probably bust a gut laughing.

[Raider]

The ones who pumped Mobi as the next dot com share in the blame as well..... I cant imagine how many newbies fell victim to it.

[Adatise]

Namaste

[Gerry]

No need to PM your well wishes to me.

I must say, that was sweet of you to think of me.

I sleep better knowing that you are keeping an eye over me.

------------------------

All one has to do to call me is look up the WHOIS.

Just look at the siggy and go from there.

But, please, wife is asleep.

Lets not wake the innocent

Cheers!

[Raider]

I bought hook, line and sinker. I was a sucker caught in the mobi rush just like the lousy .asia rush.

The difference between these two is; Mobi was the most heavily pumped TLD in Internet Domain history, which is in far contrast to dot Asia.

After the .Mobi rush, Were you easily influenced by what the pro-mobiers were preaching here?

[Adatise]

Love and light

no.

[David G]

I don't understand why GEDS domains are considered so valuable in any tld but especially in .mobi?
