Surprisingly it's not ask.mobi. I wonder why. They chose to use mobile.ask.com instead. Is this going to be the trend? Time will tell.

i checked the who is of ask.mobi and it was registered in may 2006, by some broker i think

"Ask.mobi" a premium name. I think that Ask.com will eventually reg it, since its much shorter than mobile.ask.com. Who knows..

 

[xTOPSECRETx]

yeah i guess!

This will have to be the trend where the .com owner can't get the .mobi. May even turn out to be the norm. If only you could register 'mobile.'

even though some corp's have bought into .mobi, why would "ask.com" want to confuse it's customer base, by trying to brand a .mobi name.

they still are trying to get "ask.com" accepted in the public's mind after dropping the "jeeves".

Pathetic troll

i understand your anger was coused by irrational perception of reality and some frustration point , how many you registered ?:bounce:

 

[seanboy]

My anger wasn't "coused" by anything. I'm just sick of hearing people b**ch about .mobi. I just wish that we could all discuss the pros and cons, instead of non-stop trolling from the haters.

My anger wasn't "coused" by anything.

the anger- is emotional condition which causes from big emotional instability and frustration, and i would never advise anyone, who is suffering from this condition to participate in high risk investments, rather- keep money in retirement account

this is very true on a couple levels and shouldnt be ignored.. first is what was already mentioned above about not wanting to confuse the public with whatever current campaign is going on, and ask.com is a prime example.. i remember that silly jeeves thing they were doing back in the dayo..

secondly,the dot-mobi registry reserved all these premium names and im sure---without even checking on it that 100% of them are registered dot-coms.. not all the owners are not going to be the same... while some .mobi sites may try to mimick the .com version (assuming they have different owners, and without getting sued) the visitors will likely notice that some are two completely different websites and maybe even completely different content (other than just formatting to be better suited for mobile device).. confusing at best and doomsday at worst..



on the flip side angel666, i own 500+ mobis, and i am not the least bit disconnected with reality.. theres a couple things that could happen here..

1. lose all or most of your money because .mobi goes nowhere and you were too stupid to sell a few eary or thought they were for sure gonna be worth 5k each 'someday'

2. pay off whatever you registered or bought with the sale of your other .mobis, and slowly but surely have premium, free .mobis in your portfolio. (the is the MOST likely to happen to smart investors)

3. .mobi actually takes off (at least for a little bit) and people with premium .mobi's get a bunch of money.


if you choose option 2 you could end up wasting your time, which isnt fun. But it could also lead lead to option 3.. but most of all thank god it didnt lead to option 1, right?
