GE bought my dot mobi!

[NameMatters]

But only after it dropped!

[exponent]

Oh wow.

 

[draggar]

That's a rather odd name for GE to pick up unless they're either getting into domaining (with 15K domains so far?) or they're looking to expand. Do they even have credit cards? What bank handles them?

GE is one of the largest financial services company in the world ---

Remember, Visa advertises Visa.mobi in many venues ----

 

[draggar]

Wow, I didn't even know that.

 

[Area52]

GE provides credit cards services for hundreds of businesses, for instance, Paypal.

 

[Domain Jedi]

Cool beans!

well isn't that a kick in the crotch.

why would you drop such a good name?

:uhoh:

My sentiments exactly. Who'd a thunk it.

GE is one of the largest financial services company in the world ---

Yup, they are. Any time I have received an offer lately for credit, the issuer of the card is either GE or MBNA.

 

[think]

Wow! Now that is interesting. Sorry to see they bought in on a drop rather from you but the whole scenario makes a guy wonder. To see a company as huge as GE chasing a Mobi drop is not the norm.......

Makes me wonder if GE is perhaps contemplating a media blitz for credit, refi, and so on.

I am seeing tons of commericals on television for Capital One and the ability to customize a credit card any way someone wants it.

Perhaps MyCreditCard would lend itself well to such a campaign.

Hey! Doc, you for got Obama Credit

 

[Gerry]

Hey! Doc, you for got Obama Credit

That was all Bush Credit. Nearly the past three years, nothing paid:

Iraq - Credit
Afghanistan - Credit
US/Mexico Border - Credit
Katrina - Credit
Paulson Plan - Credit
Big 3 Money - Credit
AIG bailout - Credit
Guatanamo - Credit

None of that stuff was paid for. Don't kid yourself. We didn't have the money then and we don't have it now. There was not maney or security back credit then and none now.

What we are faced with is a stack of IOU's.

Again, take a look at the Paulson plan - authorization to borrow $750B "at a time", authorization to increase the fed deficit by more than $3Trillion.

I, for the life of me, do not understand why people think we could afford to deploy hundreds of thousands of troops on multiple fronts and NOT have a debt as big as a mountain over this. The activation and deployment of national guard troops to the US/Mex border was just ONE OF THE straws that broke the back of this economy.

:uhoh:

it isnt *that* good... i'd say mediocre at best. and you cant always renew everything... you just never know what someone else might be interested in.

Agree. Plus, where do we get many of our names?

From Drops.

Someone else's throwaways or forget to renew. All extensions.

Sh*t happens. Bush's tour is done. Obama's on his own now. Ultimately, the American people are to blame for this mess because they have not been and still are not vigilant. Currently, Obama and Congress act like they own the place. Until US citizens set them straight, nothing will change. It will be deeper in the hole. The public, evidently, can not believe that many of their reps are bought and paid for.

I probably would have dropped it too.

 

[Gerry]

Sorry to get this derailed. Perhaps get this thread back on track first, then tackle the economy.

mobi 's are under estimated ...by many , but the big dogs know what they are doing..

 

[wussadotcom]

I rarely check back domains I sold or dropped for these same reasons...
