Is .Mobi Already Dead?

Is .mobi already dead?

Not in the minds of .mobi speculators who were responsible for keeping it alive, Maybe they can start a new "Hype" campaign to bring .Mobi back to life.

 

[randomo]

Yeah, interest seems to be dwindling.

I put up a list of decent .mobi's for offers at NP yesterday, not a nibble ....

(But hey, it's partly the fault of people like me, because I never developed any of them.)

Now, to all the naysayers: I'm sure you know what you're doing. I know what I'm doing. But do you know what I'm doing? Obviously not....

well said jasdon, can't argue that

Is .com going to die, is .mobi dead, are IDN's dead, is .biz dead, is .us dead... Got to love the optimism floating around the industry these days.

LOL

The way I look at it is that I am not heavily invested in .mobi but I own a couple of very good .mobi's I plan to develop in conjunction with some very good .com's which I own the same names...I think the .mobis will be very successful...so I am really fine with the extention...just don't think it is even in the same breath with .com. ...don't really understand all the haters though....it is what it is.

That'd have to be .zombie

The most damaging to all the tld's and mobi is the upcoming unlimited number of new tld's.

The .mobi is dead to me when I've got my iPhone.

lol :lol:

hey you're a .TV fan, right?

.TV died to me when........... oh wait, that extension (just like mobi) was never "needed." Funny how its finally been steadily picking up steam the last few years. I cant turn the TV on anymore without seeing .TV websites advertised... purdy good for an extension that isnt needed.... or even designed for a different medium.

I wonder what people said about .TV (an unnecessary extension) back in the year 2000. I bet it was widely accepted... right? :-/

BOO-YA !

 

[Fearless]

in fact I've already bought some landrush names the past few weeks, for a pittance of what they would've cost four months ago.

Isn't this what we've been warning you about? Pittance is rapidly declining to zilch.

 

[Theo]

Did you sell iPhones //mobi, Greg?

 

[mjnels]

im still in my underwear selling .mobi domains.

ill let you kids know when i turn in my application to Taco Bell...... we can all attend the .mobi funeral together then. assuming my boss is willing to give me the day off....

 

[Fearless]

I own a couple of very good .mobi's

No such animal. :lol:

Did you sell iPhones //mobi, Greg?

No, but things are picking up. I made 76 cents in the last 4 weeks.

Regardless of what everyone says there are still new mobi sites being put out by big corps on a regular basis and dnjournal has a bunch of mobis listed this week.

Yes, Vision makes a post each time some company launches a .mobi sidekick to their .com

Reminds me of the days in 1994 that I was compiling the "Golden Guide of the Internet" for a publication. Web sites were so few, you could manually locate them

Wow - so you were involved with the internet way back then, before all the big names started in this business. What was your attitude to domains back then?

I had no mentor and a different focus; didn't register a domain until 1997.

 

[jasdon11]

'97; must've got some great names?

If he did I am sure he sold too soon or flipped most all of them.

I'm not selling my sole precious .mobi
