Is anybody else getting sick of new extensions targeted to suckers?
The worst new extension so far is .MOBI if you ask me. It's just another excuse for ICANN to make millions of dollars from companies trying to protect their TM's.
The very reason people are buyng .MOBI domains is the same reason people simple create subdomains.
Hasn't anybody ever heard of simple creating a WAP subdomain, i.e. http://wap.yahoo.com/ ?
Subdomains have night and day benefits over new extensions being released.
First of all, you don't have to fight millions of people to get your extension. Second of all, you don't have to pay any extra.
I'm personally sick of the extension hype that seems to linger constantly. What's next, perhaps .firefox for the sites that refuse to make themselves work correctly on IE, and maybe .ie for the oldschoolers?
Those ideas sound ridiculous, but it's just as stupid to create a .MOBI extension if you ask me. I doubt we will see big websites using this extension anyway. Seems like more of a "domain game" for the resellers. The good ones will be resold and resold but I think it's more beneficial for a big corporation to not confuse their visitors with different extensions, and instead stick with mobile.domain.com or wap.domain.com.
Just had to vent. Hope you enjoyed it.
