My commentary on my podcast

Badger · 08-30-2007, 03:46 AM

OMG, that cracks me up...

I wonder why, if Neil is busy lurking around this forum, he doesnt sign up and make a few posts..

Seems odd in this day and age where user generated content and community driven businesses are all the rage and where you have a glut of hungry and eager domainers here wishing to contribute and aid the building of his business he chooses to stay away.

Then again, Im an ex-Dublin'ite, and the guys there dont do ANYTHING at, well what can I say, faster than a snails pace.

most likely they prefer to keep the conversation at their website... theyve said something like that before.. they did mention namepros and im sure theyre aware a good number of mTLD blog readers are members here.. so they made a joke and a mention to keep our attention.

I have to admit it too. I did not like my interview on the podcasts months ago. I have done many more live broadcasts which have been well received. Here is some more Neil Edwards for you, http://mtld.mobi/broadcast. You should really check out the dotMobi website because news goes live daily. Keep the material coming on the photos and one liners. I love a bit of humor.

On a serious note, we are doing much more in the next few months in the domainer community. We will not be perfect, but you can expect much more participation with the release of our good premium names, lower dotmobi prices to registrars, and better content tools. Each of you should really be getting your technology people in touch with dev.mobi. You can learn a life time of education on how to get your content mobile and accepted on the network operator networks and more than 4,000 handsets around the world.

Thanks,
Neil

Agree.

With still so many unanswered questions ... dating back to Pinky's one and only visit in November '06, IMHO.

Thanks for listening.

With all the hostility around here it's no wonder they stay away.

True. And they probably also stay away because they aren't about to divulge all of their business plans and relationships to Jeff, ROFL.

They way they are doing it is professional, IMO. They let us know they are watching, and then tackle some of our questions on their blog. That's a cool way to do it, because if they came in here they'd be ripped to shreds since they know they can't answer everything we would want them to answer.

I, for one, am glad they have at least acknowledged us. In fact, they've done a lot more than that recently. They've addressed a lot of our concerns on their blog.

I don't see it that way, Paul ... as I have repeatedly mentioned there are still MANY many unanswered questions posed by the membership here in the .MOBI Forum™, IMHO.

Neil, Pinky, Caroline, and whomever mTLD should view this as an opportunity to finally address these lingering - and, frankly, growing - questions and concerns ... because as fellow member and

Badger notes above, " ... where you have a glut of hungry and eager domainers here wishing to contribute and aid the building of his business he chooses to stay away" IMHO.

It will require some time and effort on their part, a commitment ... but it's the least they can do considering the amount of hard-earned money and time & energies these member's have spent on .MOBI registrations (and for those who are developing and/or planning on developing), in my view.

Again, please address the UNANSWERED questions!

I think they have, Jeff. Just maybe not to YOUR satisfaction.

Neil has addressed a game plan for the premiums, and lots of our other questions on their blog. Might not be the DETAIL that I would have liked either, but can you really expect them to reveal EVERYTHING?

Considering so many ongoing demands for confidential information, plus add in all the mtld and mobi bashing over the past several months it has and can get ugly around here. As you already pointed out, there is already significant investment in .mobi by the domain community so any appeasement by mTLD here will be construed as more of the proverbial "money grab". They are damned if they do and damned if they don't. .Mobi is doing just fine right now, with so many new releases and promotions it is obvious to any objective observer that this new tld is off to a great start as it's 1st birthday approaches. No need IMO to appease the skeptics, just keep pushing forward as they already are. If domainers don't want to get involved in the upcoming Premium releases, that is their prerogative and loss IMO.

Excellent! Its very positive that the root registry execs are willing to contribute to this community which, along with the mobility ex-pats, are the largest .mobi supporters on the net.

I still stand by the fact that the greatest harnessing of strength for mltd would be by connecting with, interacting and driving the extension here with the "already sold" large number of .mobi developers, investors and supporters.

Actually, maybe I should invite Neil or Pinky for a pint. Exchange Place is only a short stroll to my local "the porterhouse" at the top of temple bar. Maybe I make another radio namepros show. I think Monte Cahn has now recovered from my last one

Again, I will say that I think the manner in which they have chosen to answer questions (their blog) is a very professional way to handle it.

We might not like all of the answers, but the fact is that they don't HAVE to answer any questions, just like no one here HAD to invest in .mobi.

Just because you bought some domains means you can demand answers to all of your questions from a private company? I don't think so! Even owning shares of stock in a public company doesn't obligate them to answer any questions!

Nobody put a gun to anyone's head to buy .mobi domains, and we're NOT entitled to know everything they are doing just because we chose to buy some domains. Keyword: chose.

All that being said, it is great that they have decided to address some of our concerns on their blog.

"mobility ex-pats" - I like that term - Very appropriate observation Ian!

An in general those with the fewest .mobi names and smallest investments are crying the loudest.
Those with the most names and biggest investments are not.
THAT in itself tells you something.
