Yes, I think it's more important than BofA, AAA and Zagat, because this age group will quickly adopt .mobi and make it cool.

The 30+ crowd may be somewhat set in their ways of using .com and reluctant to explore new areas. But with Generations, X, Y, Z...whatever, they are ripe for new ideas and they are totally glued to their cell phones. Just go out and try to find any teenager in the U.S. who does not have a cell phone.

Therefore when DISNEY gets them to try .mobi and they see a quality product, it will spread like wildfire.

I have always felt that the breakthrough for this ext. will come from the younger crowd using it. DISNEY is a big step in that direction.

I would suggest fellow .mobi domainers to target the Disney age audience.

I've never heard of the show, but those are some huge viewership numbers

I think that the "kids" (say those < 20 today) just may be the ones to adopt and create .mobi. If I take myself for example, I was just a child in the mid-1980s when .com came out. By the time I had grown old enough and knowledgeable enough to reg .coms, most of them were gone. If we look at most of the "good domainers", the ones who got in say pre-1995, most of them are a generation older than your average internet user (if we negate the few 70+ users that skew the statistics). I could see the same here. I'm a generation older than the average text messager (is that what they're called?), the average cell phone junkie, etc. Matter of fact, I've went my whole life without a cell phone. I was old enough by the time they caught on (say ~ year 1999-2000) mainstream in Canada, that I just had no interest in them. There's a scant few people I know my age who do use their phone for "texting", but most of us regard it as childish. On the other hand, those young adults and teens seem like they can't get enough of it -- and I think that should be .mobis primary target market.

I'll probably never get a cell phone (and certainly not for any purpose other than business, should that need arise), nor will I ever use .mobi on one. But I, like many others here, certainly see a future for the mobile internet. It just "makes sense" for this younger generation. And 10-20 years from now, my generation will be starting to retire, and these "kids" will be the real movers and shakers... These will be the guys running Fortune 500 companies and making critical business decisions... Hook them on .mobi while they're young and impressionable.

We've got a call from Mr. Spot On.

Are you reading my mind???

Good filming, and I did see the promotion for HSM2.mobi in the commercial!

Thanks for the link, Allnick (and to my friends who PM'd me with the link, as well)!

Disney.mobi, for example!

hsm3.mobi
hsm4.mobi

The same person got both and I am sure they are a NPer.

i too hope disney takes these, if they don't have them to use, it could cause their .mobi train to derail rather quickly. ther's talk of hsm3 already in the article below.

does this help their popularity?
