Re: FOXnews.mobi JUST ANNOUNCED!

I didn't say length (or lack thereof) adds value. I said that as a counter-argument to the statement that people would use foxnews.mobi instead of the true redirect to wap.foxnews.proteus.com because it's shorter/easier to remember.

.mobi is hype because it's a moot TLD: content does not depend on the TLD.

And if FOX News does not deliver content to mobiles when visiting their main URL, that's their mistake. In fact, their site is losing out because not only they use a different TLD (.mobi) than the .com but it's a redirect. Proteus.com is the beneficiary here.
