DNF$: 6,238 Location: Florida | Is .Mobi Already Dead? Is .mobi already dead? The folks putting on next month's Search Engine Strategies conference apparently think so. One high profile seminar is titled Mobile SEO: Death of the .mobi. Flak jackets anyone? http://www.dnjournal.com/archive/low...s/07-02-08.htm

Country: | Personally, I thought .mobi was a bad idea to start with. Something simpler like .M would have worked so much better than a 4 letter extension. I'm glad I never bought into the .mobi hysteria because I don't see it going anywhere.

Country: | Funny, isn't it, when those who have the least knowledge of a subject, group together in a Beavis and Butthead type of way, and snigger - pretending to each other that they know something others don't. So, is that funny...or sad? Well to me, it's funny. Check me if I'm wrong, but if I wanted to 'sell' SEO, wouldn't I want to talk down any threats. At this conference, do they have a workshop entitled; "Bollocks to SEO - go and buy domains instead", or do they want to promote 'search engine optimization' ? And really, this is great timing for me. I can't wait to pick up some great .mobis come early October - in fact I've already bought some landrush names the past few weeks, for a pittance of what they would've cost four months ago. Now, to all the naysayers: I'm sure you know what you're doing. I know what I'm doing. But do you know what I'm doing? Obviously not.... |

Country: | Is .com going to die, is .mobi dead, are IDN's dead, is .biz dead, is .us dead... Got to love the optimism floating around the industry these days.

Country: | I think the title of that session was chosen to generate a big attendance. The blurb on the session makes it look like they'll give you tips to make your regular website more mobile friendly, so you can design one site that suits pc or mobile use. I can't see every website being adapted for both pc and mobile screens, and by mobile screens I don't mean the iphone, but the common cellphone size screens. Doesn't change the fact you can still make a mobile website and use a .mobi to get that point across, and for the coolness factor. I really think the mobile experience and the pc experience are two different things, and you have to design differently for each. If not, we'd all be throwing out our laptops and pcs and using our cellphones to surf the net.

Probably best if everyone goes away, and comes back in two years, and tells their story then. One thing that you can be sure of; things won't be the same as they are now! | |

There are hundreds/thousands of examples of companies going either way with their mobile site. People who are pro-.mobi are hoping the companies using .mobi will get the public familiar with the extension, and it will catch on for mobile sites. .mobi isn't even close to dead if you look at all the big companies using it going on two years from landrush - it's a significant number of companies.

Country: | Excellent point, courtesy of HipHop - maybe they're just pissed that someone grabbed their .mobi name before they knew what was happening.....be too much to get them to admit as much though I guess.... |
