A quaint little .MOBI promotional idea

dag · 03-05-2007, 11:18 PM

And now for something a little less controversial (I hope):

It occurred to me that a simple and yet ultimately very effective way to increase awareness of .MOBI would be for all .MOBI investors to pick one of their .MOBI names and start using the e-mail account for that name as their primary e-mail address (or at least primary secondary address, since everyone has so much tied in to their primary e-mail).

That way, depending on how many people you e-mail on a regular basis, the ".mobi" portion of your address can't help but get noticed by folks who might not otherwise be hearing anything about it at the moment.

I've chosen "rang.mobi" -- short, emphasizing the extension as much as the name, and it's a nice tie-in to the extension...

Who's in?

I will use @mobilewebs.mobi.

Cheers!

I have been using which ever .Mobi address would be appealing to the recipient of my email. I am glad you posted this.

karamba · 03-06-2007, 04:37 AM

yeah... Lets really try this

Hi again...just wanted to make sure people saw this during the day. It was kind of getting bumped down out of sight by this morning's posts...

To summarize, in brief: Use your .mobi e-mail address!

OK, how about scandiman at supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.mobi

seriously though, this is a good idea.

I think they'd never get around to seeing the ".mobi" part...

**labrocca** · 03-06-2007, 01:23 PM

Actually a great idea. I can use my dxd.mobi for a spam box. Lord knows it's not good for much else.

dentalpro · 03-06-2007, 01:31 PM

Best idea I've seen for a while...getting tired of the useless banter...this is easy, effective, positive and productive!

Great idea - nice thinking!

I was thinking of offering free email using my city domains, which combined cover a population of several million people.

Maybe another is to promote .mobi on your .com site(s) on your homepage!!!
I currently do this to promote .mobi, and my Panoramic Photography site.
They work great side by side IMO!

A great idea using a.mobi email address as default dagersh!

something i did today was to send some money via westernunion.com
i telephoned their support number to confirm code. while i was on phone i asked the bloke why their .mobi address didn't go to a site.
it's regged to them by the looks & a payment solutions firm is registered in the name, it may be them, i don't know.
the guy was very friendly , but hadn't heard of mobi, he then said, 'i don't think we will develop a site on mobiles because of security issues)
i stifled my laughter & just said people have been sending money for years on mobiles & said was just interested as had been on paypal.mobi etc LOL
he asked me to send a quick note to support at their com site, which i duly did.
I'll let you know the response. This is what i sent.

Hi,
i am a western union customer & sent some money today via westernunion.com
was a little disappointed your westernunion.mobi site is not up & running yet. It seems a lot of big companies are, as i use my mobile phone a lot on the internet & it is only .mobi websites that can guarentee a good website experience. I use www.paypal.mobi , www.google.mobi, www.travelosa.mobi etc
Just wondering when your site was going to be up & running?
Thanks
