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 spend most lunches, in between appointments or sipping on some coffee browsing the above sites ... 1 thing i can't stand is clicking on links that aren't formatted for the mobile web - seriously, not trying to be a cheerleader, but full blown sites take forever to load on my Dash!

mediaadvantages · 07-01-2008, 07:29 PM

fullblown sites take forever on an iphone to load...lol. i believe in their presentation Apple said the average is :23 seconds. how ridiculous. the iphone is great. the traditional web on a mobile device is not.

this is most likely the exact reason why some people don't get on the mobile web. when they go to a .com they have no idea how long its going to take to get to the site or if its even going to work

You're right that wasn't my question. I was just making a point, but like I said earlier I'm not worried about dot mobi. If they will hold up their value then good for you guys. It doesn't affect me at all, but it seems like this thread is causing a lot of drama and all this guy did was state the facts and dot mobi investors turned on the super protective mode. My personally opinion is that people only get protective when they are scared.

no problem. i don't mean to get defensive with you. snoop and a few others have made it a goal to post as many negative things as possible and harass people in the .mobi forum. people are just sick of seeing him around. if he doesn't have an interest in .mobi or anything that takes intelligence to say then there isn't a reason for him to be here.

Those are the main reasons people get on the internet in my opinion and I don't believe any of those would be fun to get on from a cell phone or possible except for a few of them. This is just my opinion, but I'm going to leave it at that and be done with this thread. Thanks for the entertainment.

I said the main reason "people" get on the internet, not me. I'm a domainer so I reasons to be here. This business is about what the people want right? I'm done and know that this will only lead to drama for me which I want nothing to do with. Anyways like I said earlier thanks for the entertainment.

I'll look forward to them with baited breath. (convenient that you now have to head out as I am sure the statement you have made is not true)

As far as you asking me for stats, you seem to be are asking for stats on claims I'm not even making,

This is what I said,

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

I've now posted those examples yet you want stats on something else, and talking about press releases?

"show me half the press releases that come out every day compared to .mobi sites."

Can you clarify what stats exactly you are asking for?

labrocca · 07-01-2008, 07:59 PM

Some seem to be forgetting what the topics really about. That valuations for mobi are dropping and drastically. For whatever reason they are.

As for LLL.com's being down drastically...lol.

http://3character.com/2007-july.html

A year ago they were worth 1/2. As a matter of FACT...3character.com has kept valuations of LLL.com increasing EVERY SINGLE MONTH. Net and Org have also been nudged higher from one year ago.

While sure we all like think there is some slowdown you have to see the difference between that and the bottom falling out. mobi imho...just saw it's bottom fall. LLL's are typically a great indicator of domainer value. Because they do not require parking revenue to increase in value. They are intrinsic to domaining.

Trends or whatnot...how can mobi enthusiast be enthusiastic about their domains dropping in value so quickly?

Fans continue to ignore bad news...rather frightening imho.

I'm not ignoring any news labrocca, BTW, is this newsworthy or merely noteworthy

namewaiter · 07-01-2008, 08:07 PM

so in march - $150
april - $170
may - $170
june - $95

really to me it just says that the sales that did happen to occur and were reported in June '08 were low ... but how is this a trend?

You aren't addressing it either. What's with your question? Who cares about the difference between newsworthy and noteworthy. Discusss the topic or are you scared to do so?

mobi prices have take a steeper fall than other domain extensions...

Do you care to discuss that or do you want to circumvent the issue again and talk smack that's unrelated. Your reply will be telling.

Watching LLL/NNN .mobi fall to about $10 a piece

I can predict the future.

Your right and this is a fact.

Other extensions might have fallen also, but not as dramatically as .mobey

It's only a matter of time before the cookie crumbles.

As more and more .mobi drop, it won't be long before we can't start registering LLL.mobi again.

The slump is value of LLL Mobi's is of slight concern , but of late there has been a drop in the value of most extensions.

We have all the september/october renewals to look forward to, so I personally dont expect any large increase in values until early 2009.

Development is the key to success, at this stage with mobi. Bringing in an income and increasing the value of your names with development.

Development of mobi sites is not that complicated either. If I can do it anyone can do it.

I will be able to pay me renewals with the income from my developed sites, so I have no real concerns.

The mobile internet will be huge whether it is mobi or a combination of "m" redirections etc etc's.

My sites will be out there and they will mobi - short, easy to remember mobi's

Regarding the "M' thing. Why would you go to greyratstuffbrindle dot com/m/ when you could use rat dot mobi for example.

I personally registered a lot of mobis in my field of interest and I am busy building sites. I missed out on the com, here is my chance to stake my claim on the mobile web.

Tell me how this is bad news for an infant extention when (this past week alone)...Xbox.mobi, Cnnmoney.mobi (not new but promoted again), Camprock.mobi) just came out. Do you think .mobi is just about LLL or other ??? And why should we follow that chart?

Add those three sites together (for endusers) and tell me how many people will go to them??? Also what age levels will view them sites? Or do they just want to go to a parked LLL.com and see nothin or other then a corporation?

I think the corporatations have a large ground now with .mobi. I respect this tread, it was about LLL but LLL is mearly a spot on the wall to keywords and brandables and new companies on the uprising and the rest. IMHO

PS going to bed in about 30 min so if I don't respond its because I am sleeping
