Sedo to Auction Premium .Mobi Domain Names

[Focus]

they should have NEVER reserved any names...totally a steaming pile of BS

 

[maroulis]

i'm not against reservation of .mobis I think in fact it was great idea the whole stringent RFP process (even though the extension is doomed imo) but this SEDO auction makes me wonder the motives

 

[PRED]

Extremely good news.

I searched and searched, but can't find a list. It is impossible that they will auction all the 58 domains in one day at Sedo. Their website would blow up...

LOL
It's one at a time i believe.
Roses.mobi is first up.

If Sedo continue along their 'oh someone didn't pay never mind' attitude the auctions will turn into a farce! Sedo need a kick to start enforcing their 'legally binding' contracts!!!

Agreed. That applies to all extensions. There are too many non-payers, it needs tightening up.

I just emailed Pinky Brand and requested a copy of the list.

Will you post when you get it Yoda?
cheers

Rumor...

A SIX FIGURE .mobi sale will be announced next week.


Keep the good news rollin' on !

Damn! :smilewinkgrin:
I think i need to go to the bathroom again

ummm, we're talking about 58 out of almost 6,000 so although we are only talking about less than 1% of the reserved names the marketing and extension recognition will be huge ... they should use as many avanues as possible to continue the buzz. i say spread it out, give great domains a few, afternic and every domain event that comes along ... the more the extension is in the spotlight the closer to public acceptance we get.

exactly.


its 58 domains guys, sheesh.. i think itll be fun to watch the different ways they market/distribute that huge list of names.. a sedo auction is a great idea..

this is going to be very very fun to watch...

A pat on the back of the domainer by siding with the domainers' specialist Sedo..

Timing.

What a poker move, I'm "all in" dotmobi

Still no word from Pinky. When I receive his response, I will let everyone know that he says. :cheesy:

If you're holding a clutch of nice mobi's these auctions will be fun to watch!

i was thinking the same thing, and they are going to be seeing this for months, if not years, to come.

Regardless of how you feel about .mobi, you have to love their marketing skills. Auctioning Roses.mobi on Valentines Day. What a great idea.

Can you see the headlines?

Looking for a great gift for your sweatheart?

Get her ROSES.MOBI

and after the sale, the press will be huge.

Media after the sale.....

Did you spend $XXX,XXX for roses on Valentines Day?..THIS GUY DID !!

LoL!!!! Exactly Pred. It will be very exciting for those with a strong mobifolio.

For those with Mobi-Envy, their envy will morph into rabid jealousy. Those fellas will be barking & foaming from the sidelines. :veryangry: :veryangry: :veryangry: :veryangry: :veryangry: :veryangry:

every 10 or so posts (given you obviously can't present any valid arguments NOR add anything constructive) you just show up and add some random pump borderline BS..

After all these posts I think you've earned the title of the ".Mobi Rubber Duck" congratulations...!

"We" are so full of envy... I can't even stand it... :sigh2:

PS Given our expected foaming, I think it's a GREAT idea to register FOAMING.MOBI, that way when we're out and about we can fire up our browsers, go to FOAMING.MOBI and find solution to our problems(!).

Just sent Pinky email number two. I will keep you all posted.

According to MTLD, the entire point of reserving these premium names, was to ensure that they will be developed

Kind of a marketing gimmick, don't ya think?

Out of the millions and millions, perhaps billions of all the sum total of domain names registered, how many have actually been developed into a web site?

Knowing full well that a strong and viable .mobi presence, market, and deployment is still perhaps 1-2 years away, who do they think they are kidding by claiming they were reserving these domains for development?

They knew full well going into this that there is a boom in the domain real estate market and a vast majority of domain name registrations are purely speculative and an investment by folks like us, domainers.

They know the power of generics and know the interest is present and can see the revenue each premium domain has the potential to generate.

If you really want to see some fireworks, why won't ICANN auction off the one and two character dot coms that they are hoarding?

Marketing Strategy? Yes
Intelligent? Yes, Yes, Yes!

Why?
dotMobi also allocates premium names thru RFP (and several other allocation mechanisms.)

But the key is the Request for Proposals (RFP) Process

The following & hundreds more will be awarded thru the RFP process.

news.mobi
ringtones.mobi
sports.mobi
weather.mobi

Evaluation Criteria:
The receipents of these domains will have to show the mTLD they are currently involved in the respective industry, provide a business plan that shows launch dates for each Premium .mobi site.

dotMobi will review the submitted proposals per the evaluation criteria included in the application and will announce winning proposals March 2007. Contract discussions will then commence with the winning applicants.
Look, this provides an opportunity to develop critical mobile user content in order to promote the adoption and use of the .mobi domains.

Remember the end users will be participating in these .mobi Sedo Auctions.
Keep in mind at the Hollywood TRAFFIC in October, the CEO of 1-800-Flowers (Flowers.com) placed a $190,000 bid
for Flowers.mobi......

The SEDO auctions should be called the Battle of the EndUsers for the .Mobi Holy Grail!

I'm excited!

Thank you Jedi!


There has been so much excitement about the supposed auctioning of the premium Dot Mobi names.
People are eager and will have to patiently perservere for such names
