There has not been a lot of discussion nor movement around .MOBI City names i know many are held back as premium but there are some decent size city names that have been regged. What are the thoughts around city names as I feel they will be some of the most important domains for .MOBI?

I wish I had some. I want some and If anyone has any they want to sell please let me know.

So I guess you could say i think city names aere a good bet.

Maybe those who have city names can list here as well ( I don't have any). :red:
It would be interesting to see which city names were not in mTLD's premium list.

I think these names itself will make good fortune for you guys. :imho:

Thanks!

I have to admit, pretty much the whole "food & beverage" section of the portfolio was a result of me going to one of my favorite cocktail recipe sites while I was researching names. There's a cool little site feature there called "In My Bar" that will generate possible drinks based upon what you have in the house at the time. I think my original intent was to mix myself up a brandy-stinger to sip on while searching keywords, but next thing I know I'm registering another batch.

The moral???

DON'T DRINK AND REGISTER!!!

PS: The website I mentioned is www.webtender.com . I have no affiliation with it. I just found it a couple of years ago and find it fun and useful.

If .MOBI ever works out, generally speaking ... geographic / regional / localized websites may add very nicely to the "ecosystem", IMHO. :music:

Just my two sense.

has anyone been to londonengland.mobi ???

not a bad site but only touches on what london is all about (not surprising considering it's size)

it makes me wonder about geolocation

a lot of names will really take off: pizza, car rental, movietickets etc etc if there is some way to integrate geolocation with the web page call

does anyone know if the technology exists to have a web page automatically enter a mobiles gps location and then serve the home page based on it ?

cities

this thread was really more a place to discuss city names and what their impact will have on .mobi and the potential value of these names to developers and end users not really a showcase for names.

even though i showcased mine as well D-:

so how about some discussion about the usage of a city name in .mobi vs an application such as gambling and the potential revenue generation that a city specific site could have and its potential end value to an aggregator of city names, a yellow pages, a city government, etc.

It's OK to spam your own thread. Since you did it we are all in the clear now :)

I will be pursuing a listing fee from businesses like restaurants and am working out details for hotel reservations. I'd love it if a user could search for a room and pay for it w/ their cell #. No fumbling for a credit card. I think paypal is doing a mobile quick pay kind of thing that a user needs to pre reg for but I don't know if any hotel sites use it yet. I'm sure several companies are working on it as I type.

Sorry yoyosean, I started the "post your names" thing. Just wanted to see what I missed and what good names are out there. Btw, you have a very good city .mobis.

Now back to the discussion, I think the city names will be a very good portals for end users. Some examples like londonengland.mobi as someone mentioned eairler. A travel related sites ( like trevelocity) might also be interested apart from yellowpages. I know yellowpages got some zipcodes .com's. Then there are city aggricators who would be interested, like http://www.boulevards.com/ , they have a good portofolio of cityname .com's ( like sanjose.com, sanfrancisco.com..) and they have made some nice portal's. Check out their sites, it might give some idea of potential use and revenue generation.

associated cities these guys own palmsprings.com and a boatload of major cities all around the world like barcelona, los angeles seattle etc

they appear to be using software switiching to display their sites on phones

try palmsprings.com or barcelona.com on your phone or the opera simulator and you will get a page that is formatted for a phone

i'd be very interested to know if they have the mobi version of all their city names

if they are going to use the dot com version they will certainly not be big supporters of mobi

I think Associated cities and boulevards.com are one and the same.

i don't think so

their cities don't correspond

plus, associated has the premium names, i.e sandiego.com vs boulevards which has sandiego-california.com
