    Strenghs of the apparent globally based registrations of .mobi?

    Do a Google search " site:.mobi"
    One things noticeable is that many sites indexed are from all around the world.

    What are the implications of this for dot mobi at this time in its infancy?

    Re: Strengths of the apparent globally based registrations of .mobi?

    Dot com is a symbol of Western Dominance, beefed by the English language.

    Though all the dot mobi registrations being worldwide might mean that dot mobi inc. has got to have a diversified global networking attack on the propogation of its dot mobi brand name. In other words, dot mobi needs to market itself aggresively to each of the countries so that dot mobi brand rises as high as it can go. We are seeing some of that already with China the sleeping giant. Now how about other countries as well? Why not the consortium of backers like Google , Microsoft put their 2 cents in building the dot mobi brand as mainstream to their networks outreaching.

    When something is so hot, sometimes its not a matter of how to be successful, rather, that will be manifest destiny. The concern in infancy stage is seeing "how can I fail, or slip" angles. I see very few weaknesses in dot mobi right now other than that the big backers dont seem to be utilizing dot mobi yet as a sounding instrument.. but we have to remember that this can be done at any time, and dot mobi is only 12 weeks old at the time of this writing! Wait till the reserved/premium names get released making headlines like a dripping water fountain.. timing is key for dot mobi to raise itself from the shadow world of being only another unknown domain extension.

    Re: Strenghs of the apparent globally based registrations of .mobi?

    I am not sure dot mobi will succeed 100%, but one thing is for sure.. It will only get better then it is now; Why? because only a few people know about it now that's why I can say that. As more people know about it, the hotter it seems to get! A match for Mobile Internet!

    Look at the trend closely- Now, it's pretty hot for something 12 weeks old that costs as low as $18 (website.in); a GOOD name being traded as a commodity of thousands of dollars already exchanging hands among the few amount of people knowing about it.

    Remember, only a handful of people know about dot mobi! And when you tell someone about it they seem very interested, thankful, and it spreads virally. Dot Mobi is only 12 weeks old. If you don't vouch for whatever you see as the best business opportunity of the times then how can one ever acheive business upliftment! We can make a difference!

    Of course, good names are paramount.

    That is why its important to get in with the GOOD while you can still. Like I said, I can't predict the future, but one thing I know is at the present dot mobi is hot. And remember most of the generics are reserved yet to be given to the warrented companies to use and make headlines over a period of time - an ingenius strategy as even I am a domainer.

    Gold was just a rock until everyone knew about it, the challenge for us domainers is to support dot mobi so that "other extension awareness besiders .com" mentality will ascend and the value of our investments in domaining will rise exponentially as soon as possible.

    Remember with gold or jewelry, or baseball cards, there can be someone who has the same item as you. But with domains, there is only 1 domain name for all 6 billion people! That's why we were attracted to this business, so that we can make alot of money from not needing alot of money to do it. And this idea is what will attract other people to it. We, together, must work to have great global demand for the scarce supply we have termed as virtual real estate. The average person needs to know that "they can register a domain name" mainstream mentality. Why am I bringing this up? So that those hesitant about supporting dot mobi can see how supporting this alternate extension is good for our business as a whole. We have a chance now, this is internet history, to be part of creating strong demand, for domain registration mentality to the mainstream. From a commodity to a collectible, and with the explosion of blog templates and the hot latest mobile devices.. having your own site name is getting hot.. so let's use dot mobi to teach awareness of our craft domaining to the average person. Then, maybe I'll see you in a resort someplace!

    Support dot mobi for domaining!

    Buy GOOD dot mobi while still available.

    Regards,
