Baidu.mobi

Baidu.com is #7 on Alexa. Check out baidu.mobi on your phone. Buckle our seat belts :)

I first looked at the name, thought it was 'dubai' all mixed up.

That's OK, there are a billion Chinese who understand it perfectly.

mjnels 06-07-2007 06:50 AM

geezus... the world-ranking has it right beside myspace... and in china it is apparently the #1 site..

nrmillions 06-07-2007 06:56 AM

Baidu is HUGE!! Very good news! Also, it doesnt matter where it forwards to because all people have to know is to go to Baidu.mobi. This will give recognition to .mobi to hundreds of millions of people.

MobiMaven 06-07-2007 07:03 AM

Great find. Kind of ironic that the "other" search engine site (which also happens to be a backer) has not yet taken this step. Maybe this will speed them up.....

hehe..nah you cant fool me, ive already wrote down the REAL address... wireless.baidu.com

i will be rebelling by typing in the real address anytime i go to that site.. WHO WILL JOIN ME IN THE REVOLUTION?



but seriously, what kinda people besides domainer dorks complain about where a site redirects when they type in a domain.. thats what im still trying to figure out.

HEY.. i dialed a 1-800 number yesterday and got redirected to some other number.. HOW DARE THEY!

Excellent find Ajkula!!!

Baidu is known as the "Google of China"

Baidu.mobi is a game changer.

BTW - On my T-Mobile Dash Baidu.mobi does not redirect

I don't know, hopefully ajkula will chime in and let us know how it was discovered.

mjnels 06-07-2007 07:52 AM

Press Release: mobi naysayers should find a suitable rock and quickly seek shelter.

scandiman 06-07-2007 08:01 AM

I know we have endured much bashing for our interest and enthusiasm for .mobi but no need to rub it in. Let's just enjoy this great find for what it is.

Excellent. How do you like it? Have you seen any promotion of it?

mjnels 06-07-2007 08:09 AM

meh, all in good fun... aint everyday i take swings like that at the persistent mobi naysayer crowd.

alright, back to reading-mode...

danmanmktng 06-07-2007 08:25 AM

Doesn't work for me -- pops up a 'save as' dialog box.. anyone know why?

frank_view2008 06-07-2007 08:25 AM

Great news for China mobi market.

But haven't seen any promotion for the site.

Baidu.com is the biggest search engine in China, holding more than 80% of the market.

movingconcierge 06-07-2007 08:27 AM

you have to view the .mobi on a phone - go figure :)
