    Re: Visa Invests seven figures to dotmobi

    Where did the "seven figure" claim come from? All the information I found including the press releases from Visa and mTLD did not seem to mention the size of the investment. Reuters and others report:

    "Visa said on Wednesday that it would become an investor in Web venture dotMobi, which is promoting use of the .mobi Internet domain address -- instead of .com, for example -- for mobile Web browsing. It did not disclose the size of the investment."

    So, what's the point? No one's listening or paying attention.

    Re: Visa Invests seven figures to dotmobi

    Well, I was hoping for a news source a little more authoritative than a mobi fan site that does not substantiate its claim of "seven figures." I'm not saying it is not true, just that it would be nice if there was a more established source also reporting an estimate of the investment. "Seven figures" could mean many different things depending on the type of currency or the placement of a decimal point.

    Yeah they probably paid (invested) $10,000.00 (7 figures) for those crappy .mobi names.

    Re: Visa Invests seven figures to dotmobi

    Crappy.mobi is taken

    These are available:

    CRAPPYNAMES.COM
    CRAPPYNAMES.MOBI
    CRAPPYMOBINAMES.COM
    CRAPPYCOMNAMES.MOBI

    These are available for reg fee at the registrar of your choice. Broad appeal to both MobiPhiles and MobiPhobics.

    I own DAMNS.MOBI and I know who owns SUCKS.MOBI.

    I am willing to negotiate on my DAMNS.MOBI but I am not sure about the wiggle room on SUCKS.mobi.
