okie someone register starbuck.com, org, etc.. and didn't register .mobi, so I got starbuck.mobi, just wonder will this worth anything? It's resemble to starbucks real website (e.g. starbucks.com). I was hoping starbuck.mobi will point some traffic to my real website because maybe someone will mistype in as starbuck.mobi instead of starbucks.mobi?

But I rarely seeing anyone use .mobi yet.

Probably a bad idea. Perhaps you could build a site about how many bucks the movie stars have but it still would be a lame attempt to cover a trademark violation. Starbucks can probably take it from you any time they want.

Check out the Spice Girl thread:

Note that Spice girl has other meaning than the band, it would be hard to argue a different meaning for starbuck. But it is about useage, mostly. Any site the name points to better be a long way from coffee. Beware parking it at sedo or similar sites because they may show visitors coffee ads which would hurt your position.

starbuck.com don't seem to be own by real starbucks corporation. So I guess if they want to go after they already go after starbuck.com, org, net, info, etc.. before they go for mobile.

I just wonder why such a big company don't buy up those resemble domain names as their brand name. Though their brand name is starbucks (e.g. with s as plural).
