Well I guess you guys were right. Five years later Mobi doesn’t seem have to gone anywhere and I’ve been caring and paying for a .mobi name from the beginning thinking it would be valuable. I’m releasing it now…..Glad I read this.

I personally feel.. .mobi is just another publicity stunt by the big names in the mobile industry

It wont click for sure.

Well one of the reasons which makes me think it will be successful is the BIG COMPANIES including Nokia, Ericson, Google, etc investing in .mobi. I also heard that new cell phones will be programmed with .mobi extensions by default. so all you need to type is the website name with the .mobi. Also most of the phones this days use Microsoft Mobile (one of the investors in .mobi), they will make sure opera or other smart browsers wont work properly. I think you are talking from a techies perspective. While all this companies are thinking from a laymans perspective, and .mobi is a very simplified solution for them.

You are so right Richard! I have heard of Entire companies giving other companies customers by accident. A simple mix up with the extension and boom money spent advertising someone else’s company. Peter Kent wrote about that in his “Search Engine Optimization for Dummies” book.

That’s a SEO perspective for you, anything but a .com is worth less. other extensions are gaining head way I mean people are starting to recognize more and more that other extensions exist besides the .com.

I would comment on mobile tech but I don’t have any knowledge there, so I’ll leave that up to you.
