Just noticed Wachovia.mobi is up. Wachovia is a huge bank based in Charlotte, NC. Though it's a redirect to their .com, it's still using their .mobi domain!

...and the beat goes on!

Speaking of that, where has Jeff and Labrocca been lately? Haven't seen them at all since all this news came out, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Well, the last I heard, Labrocca is dismantling MobiSucks.info and he is authoring another public apology that will expand upon his previous meaculpa....

After the recent news of sportsbook.mobi I feel I must recant my statements. I am a domainer first and foremost and I like to do my research and check things out before I endevour into things. I lost $300k a few years ago in a business I shouldn't have started...it makes one more cautious to lose that much money. That being said...being overly cautious can be just as much a problem.

For every Titanic there is a Microsoft. Seems I missed the boat here.

So...I publically apoligize to all mobi enthusiasts for pissing them off so much the past 2 months. I still think my arguments and logic were very good but market forces are the true tell. The market has spoken. Will it last? I don't know. At this point I feel it's too late for me. I can't afford to drop $xx,xxx buying resale names and I am fairly sure all great names are taken. I am not the needle in the haystack kind of guy.

Anyways..thanks for reading. I was looking forward to an "I told you so" post at some point but instead I got the egg on my face.

phh.....gonna go stand in the corner now with my dunce cap on

I love how all these banks keep going .mobi...my eye right now is on a certain bank that would be interested in one of my domains if they decide to go .mobi as well! :kickass:

I was about to sign up for the DNF before landrush but luckily chose namepros. I'm so thankful. Not to mention that for some reason everyone abandoned the mobi board on the DNF around december.

I've given up on that place for the most part. The vision for .mobi there is about as clear as a mud pit.

If you are sitting on a bank acronym, you will be laughing all the way to the bank. Just a matter of time before they realize they better buy it before someone else does.

Good Luck,

"Didn't like" - That's an understatement. I've been a low key member there for years and didn't find NP until last fall. Glad that I did.

Living through all the negativity, vitriol, and flaming at forums regarding Dot Mobi has been a learning experience, albeit sometimes there are things you just don't need to hear over and over again, especially when they have been factually disputed or settled via intelligent debate. After the intelligent arguements have been made, most of it seems comes down to territoriality and dot commers have had a lot more years to pee on the hydrants. I think that this .mobi puppy will be lifting its leg high soon enough.

I am, and hopefully it all pans out that way! :hehe:

I'm working on putting up a site at the domain now, just to ensure that they can't take it from me if they do indeed decide that they want it. :yell:

I have been saying this all along. DNF and domainstate owners just did not have a vision. They themselves thought .mobi would not make it. And some even hated .mobi. How can you expect their forums to do well if they don't believe it themselves?

I could not even post a newly launched .mobi news without being moved to a dedicated thread in DS.
