I use my BlackBerry all the time to surf, or find what it is I'm looking for! And I have MANY customers that click my mobile link (first to load on my website) all the time! When set up right, they just click and call, or e-mail without having to type an address, or dial a number.... click and shoot!

Slicker than snot - "Mobile" link at the top of the page, first to load, first to click from a cell phone or PDA... http://www.L2MotorcycleRentals.com

Does your mobile user base seem to be growing? Just trying to get a grasp on the popularity of this technology.

seraphim.mobi seems to be developed.

Absolutely! Here's how I know - When I put the .mobi together, I put an e-mail address we had never used before as the "contact" e-mail. We started receiving e-mails to that address within days of putting the "mobile" link on our main site. In fact, we forgot to check it for a few days in the begining. And how I know they were from mobile users, is they were all real short abbreviated e-mails and inquiries (mobile device), instead of long, detailed that we normally get (desktop). We also started asking customers and we were quite surprised when they said they found us on the internet but made the call off the "mobile" link. I am very, very pleased with our results - we're converting results to cash and that's what business's need.

What's wrong Mr. Mobi, you can't answer a couple of honest questions?

was just looking over some domains to renew...came to homeinsulation.us and checked the other ext's to find that homeinsulation.mobi was also taken.....homeinsulation.mobi ...thinking that the .us is barely worth the $7 it will cost me to renew so what the heck is the purpose of homeinsulation.mobi ?...LOL...

The guy next door owns a home insulation business - most of their business comes from (subsidised) customers at the lower end of the financial scale. Few of those customers have computers, but they all have a mobile phone!

He drives a 997 turbo and a supercharged range rover and has two holiday homes - fair to say there's plenty of cash in the industry....

Want $20 for homeinsulation.us?

Serpent, I'm happy you are an angry person :)

May I start calling you TunnelVision? I'm not angry at all, just slightly annoyed by your obtuseness. Let me guess, when you're not handing out .mobi brochures here at the forum, you're selling salvage titled automobiles to Haitian immigrants.

The other members were answering my questions, so I'll put you on "ignore", and go about my business. :D

If I just put in a little bit of effort, I can come up a similar list of developed .tv names held by big companies that Vision hawks for .mobi

Go for it.

People have tried and failed..why?

No extensive Fortune 1000 list exists for .tv

And, .tv was founded in 1996

dotMobi was introduced in September 2006.

How bout them apples!
