You like to stray off-topic quite a lot

**jasdon11** · 07-03-2008, 02:51 PM

Topic? Oh yeah, 'the death' of that thing we all keep talking about

**mjnels** · 07-03-2008, 02:53 PM

right, so the topic being: "is mobi dead"

if were talking monetary value.. dead = zero.

Im still in my underwear, which does make it slightly awkward to walk to the mailbox to retrieve my $1,900 check for a couple mobee names i sold from hand regging a bit ago...

Forum.mobi is currently on Sedo auction.
The bid is 6,950 $ and 5 days to go.
Who did say that MOBI is dead?!

The fanatics will go down the ship.

Mobi reminds me of Bre-X in so many ways.

I have never invested in .mobi from the beginning. only stick to .coms

**flamewalker** · 07-04-2008, 04:20 AM

Mobi is a niche... thus will never reach the heights of .com, but not dead.

Doesn't help that most modern phones can view the web as its meant to be tho...

Go mobi!

**phineasphog** · 07-04-2008, 02:51 PM

I'll start buying .mobi's when a couple of cellphone makers agree to put a .mobi button on the handset.

You have to hand it to Pinky and his crew, they did a great job of selling the ext. And of course to have RS drop 200k for Flowers out of the blue really shook things up. This could have been a sustainable force and reached well past its bubble peaks to achieve a sustainable plateau if only HQ hadn't left the ground troops with no air support. No .mobi button = no .mobi mindshare.

Had Rick dropped out just shy of 200k and let the flowers.com people get the domain it would of been much better for mobi.

Yes it does - in fact why not let me take them off your hands for reg fee, plus say, 20% for your time

I'd rather go get the pliers and rip my eyelashes out, one at a time, then when done with them. go and find the sharpest knife in the house and give myself a vasectomy .. (Ouch!)

EDIT: I found the pliers but they don't seem to be up to the job! And the sharpest knife I could find was totally blunt!

.Mobi is doing fine, the mobile web is doing fine, which is why more important figures are starting promote their mobile brand awareness using a .Mobi, why else would they bother?.Mobi is a brand & branding takes time.I still think theirs a great future for the domain.

Like to share a few figures with us? (And I don't mean a list of companies using them)
