OMG....that article flips me out.



OMG he didn't just say that.

And now we have some insight from the investor standpoint. Most likely it was purely a money deal to invest. And between those companies to fork over 18 million is practically a joke. Seems their interest in mobi isn't as well-rounded as some think. It seems someone convinced them to fork over cash and they did. Oddly enough that's exactly what mTLD is doing to domainers...asking them to fork over cash. And it's working. So far mTLD is turning profit...how many mobi domainers can say the same?

this would be the same procedure for any venture capital transaction...convince people to put up some money...whats wrong with that?

only in this case all the investors are experts in the field...all the better

Yes, but in our case remember we are only a cult of mindless lemmings, providing our financial sacrifice at the altar of .mobi. Oh great mobi, please make me rich. Oh great mobi, save me from KingCom. Mobi, mobi, mobi, mobi.....

You are trying to reason with someone who sees us in that light.

Don't forget about our sacred "Dance of the Mobi," where we all do a tribal dance in a circle around a golden statue of Pinky Brand..

Sheesh...

labrocca.., ..labrocca..., after reading all those posts of yours right after the Sportsbook.mobi sale, and your comments on adjusting your perspective towards .mobi, it appears your 'ominiscient' side seems to be rising again to that almost feverish 'prove it' pitching of yours from before. Just when we thought you were 'at least' tempering......

I am just warming up for the big mobi auction tomorrow. I like eating crow. If tomorrows auction goes well for mobi I may have to write more self-effacing comments.

You guys are funny though.

Scandiman- I don't view you guys in that light. Please don't put words into my mouth if you can help yourself. However I will say that's been the funniest post I have ever seen you make. KingCom...lol

Yes and so far these experts have really only given money. If they really want mobi to succeed they would add a mobi button or default searches to mobi. IF this happened I personally would be grabbing up every mobi name I could because this would create automatic type-in traffic. However there is NO plans for this announced. I would think that even a simple press release saying that in 2008 this is a planned feature. This would greatly improve the mood of mobi and shut me up for good about mobi.

I wish I could shut myself up sometimes but I read posts and get a compulsion to reply in an honest manner. I try to be fair.

sorry, I didn't realize how much insider information you were privy to...which of those companies do you have the inside scoop on?

Samsung for one has many "illl.mobi names...I didnt know a company would buy so many domains and not have a plan for them...

or why would the investors put in 18 million dollars and have NO plans for .mobi?

I guess I need more schoolin...

this guy cannot be serious... lol

its like if HE doesnt know about it NOW it doesnt exist at all and WILL NEVER happen.

the specific example he gave may NEVER happen - but the childish know-it-all attitude is what cracks me up.

keep it up labrocca, i love collecting quotes for the future. ;)

you just keep WAITING for that BIG announcement about mobi.. and THEN you can go snatch up all the good words for regfee... is that how it works?

Well I certainly added the entertainment factor which I am glad you enjoyed but I'm not that far off. These quotes from you go way, way, way back to yesterday.

labrocca said:
-The skeptics vs the cultists (I am gonna use this word more often now)

-If you just want to have a cultist mentality that mobi can do no wrong then you will just be ignored

-It's starting to feel like the Manson family has become domainers in here. MOBI MOBI MOBI!

All this ^ friendly :) and insightful talk of .MOBI's "future plans" (including End user awareness), :$: and investors, and even browser defauts, etc. hopes that we'll soon hear again from Pinky on the matters and post-Traffic state of affairs, IMHO. :gl: :talk:

Jeff said:
:hi:

* Can you please elaborate and go into specifics of the consumer awareness campaign intiatives beginning in 2007? :gl:

* In detail, how are you working with your investors (the browser folks and the operating system folks) towards the goal of defaulting to the .MOBI? Do you agree that this needs to occur, and if so ... when will it occur? :blink:

* Some of the .Mobi's investors include Ericsson, Google, Microsoft, Nokia, Samsung Electronics, and T-Mobile and Vodafone, etc. ... can you please disclose the nature of the investments (dollars or %'s, dates and amounts of past and future scheduled investments)? :$:

Thank you very kindly.
-Jeff B-)

It may help to clarify some of the perceptions, in my judgement.
Just my two sense.

There is a certain individual who has posted in this thread. I won't name names but that individual has flip flopped on the .mobi a few times and just seem to make antagonizing posts. I just ignore that particular persons posts and I hope for the sake of mobi threads others do the same. Otherwise you just encourage that individual and the thread quickly degenerates in to a pro vs. anti .mobi argument. That argument has been beat more than any dead horse. 8-X

I don't have the individual on ignore by the way, I look at the person's posts and get some comic relief, but I won't let myself get sucked in and actually respond to the same old song and dance routine. :wave:
