Tired argument, this is a discussion forums, people have both positive and negative views on different domains and will express them. The cheerleaders think the naysayers feel threatened, and the naysayers think the cheerleaders are deluded.

Explain what you mean by "watching the cookie crumble?" Please include details and "when" it will happen when "the cookie crumbles?

Can you predict the future or speculating?

If its a tired argument as you say then why do you stay in it? And the cheerleader and deluded remark offends me. Reece...according to your PM to me in the past this is deserving of a ban from the .mobi forum.

I can honestly say - I've never felt "Threatened" by the extension. I have literally been "Threatened" by some of the owners of the extension ... But thats another story

qO_Op · 07-01-2008, 06:45 PM

.com prices are also down. If you invested in a LLL.com a few months ago then you probably lost a couple of grand in the short term, IMO. If you invested in a LLL.mobi a few months ago you probably lost a meal out and a movie, again short term, IMO.

There is no reason to be threatened, .mobi is just like a .com but on the other side...

So what if .mobi redirects....but one point....Most if not all redirects are from .com. Which means they are "related to each other in someway"

I have yet to seen a (. what ever redirect to a .mobi) As I know it, All I have seen is .com redirects and .mobi stand alones.

I was saying your argument was tired, the argument that people who post negative comments about about an extension must feel threatened by it.

Offended by a remark about cheerleaders and naysayers....my god you are right, that was so just shockingly offensive. People will need to take pills after reading those words.

Need to put it in terms of %'s, investing $200 isn't comparable to investing $8000. In terms of %'s I think the .mobi's are down 75% this year. lll.com's seem to be down 10% from the peak for the worst combo's, probably more like 30% for the better stuff.

What is it about .mobi that creates all the drama??

Is it over-excited investors?
Is it those invested in other exts worried about future losses due to mobi?
Is it just people that like to stir things up?

I honestly don't get it

mediaadvantages · 07-01-2008, 06:57 PM

its because they are scared

I think it is the the fact that they went up by such a large % in a short space of time, then crashed just as quickly. If .info had done that people would be talking as well.

My own view is they won't come back.

Maybe a slight difference on the percentages tho.

You are entitled to your opinion. So as of now, what does the mainstream consider the best way to access the mobile web? Is it m., .mobi, something.com/mobile? IMHO nothing is cemented as the premier way to access the mobile web.

thebiffenator · 07-01-2008, 07:05 PM

I guess the main question is..... Why does everyone care about .mobi?

And why do we have people supporting it and why do we have people frowning upon .mobi?

Can anyone answer?

How many of you have ever been out somewhere and used your cellphone to get on a .mobi? I know I haven't.

The trend is towards subdomains, m. and mobile. All the major internet co's have gone that way over the last 12 months.

lol....you are joking right?? show me half the press releases that come out every day compared to .mobi sites. don't make statements like that unless you have the proof. show some stats to back up your statement or delete it!

What could you possible need to look at on your cellphone? I'm honestly just wondering. Dot mobi means nothing to me because I'm not invested. I mean I travel a lot but I just take a laptop with me, just about anywhere you go now a days you have free WIFI. No cellphone has a big enough screen to enjoy the internet and the controls are total crap. I don't know anyone who gets on the net on their phone. Sorry...

i don't want to burst your bubble but you do realize more cell phones access the internet every day than computers accessing the internet
