Flowers.mobi sold for 200k

[hugegrowth]

they'll hit their 20's and 30's and start ordering flowers just like people in their 20's and 30's do.

do you think they'll forget how to use their gadgets by then?

visit flowers.mobi on your cell, enter the zipcode where the flowers will be delivered, .. a list of flower shops appear with basic info and phone numbers, click on a phone number and guess what - - you get connected directly to that shop via your phone. brilliant!

You'd have to sign up a ton of flower shops and collect on all those potential sales from all those flower shops.

or they just pay you monthly to be included (maybe they (Rick) offer zipcode exclusivity and get connected directly) whoever owns it will have options.. kinda like the new FTD

It's hard enough to order flowers on a 32" screen online. Half the time I give up and call in my order.

Your orders are going thru just fine Greg. The ones that show up now are always gonna appear smaller than what you thought you ordered. Now with your cell, you're gonna be pleasently surprised.

You still have to convince 100's of florists to sign up to pay that monthly fee.
No orders come in and they will stop paying a monthly fee.

cellphone this....cellphone that...


if .mobi actually succeeds.. you guys are going to look back and laugh at overusing the "cellphone" reference...


A cellular phone is a popular device that people carry right now..They are just starting to be enhanced with features like the internet,email,etc...

IF this evolution continues it seems that cellphone companies would evolve into mobile ISP providers, and phone calls/the internet will become one.. this does not have anything to do with .mobi necessarily..but people seem to be forgetting that some of cellular phone/mobile device manufacturers and providers ARE in on this deal..

Imagine that, "actual size" on your cellphone.

One thing remains the same. The technology behind it does not change, a .com can do the same thing as a .mobi. Yes, I know that if the cell phone automatically puts the .mobi on everything then they will have a clear advantage otherwise I can't see the reason for the excitement just yet...

I believe CatLitter.mobi and ToiletPaper.mobi could be the next monster sales that you see....maybe at the next Traffic Auction. I'm sure there were thousands of people today who were in their cars today when they realized they had forgotten one or both of these essential items.

If you set up enough distribution centers you could have your order on your doorstep by the time you got home.

a .net also does the same thing as a .com and good words in .net are still worth good money.

All expressed opinion are so geo-centric. People in the western hemisphere forget that asia is where the true mobile action is.

In time, mobile Inernet will focus on IDN and niche local terminology rather than english words alone.

if flowers.mobi is $200k in value, what will flowers.mobi in other languages be valued at? eg phool.mobi (flowers in indian)

sure a man who buys flowers in nyc over his cellphone won't be an exception buying flowers in this manner compared to a mobile phone user in china or india for that matter.

In referance to Business.com ...

.mobi = hype
And that's putting it nicely.

predator, give it a rest already
The domains that sold at the auction have barely started to be processed.
It seems like you get off trying to draw attention from an industry icon (starstruck, perhaps?).
Not that you care, but you've lost credibility in my book already.
