HUGE!

Great find Webecri!

You are the ultimate Investigative DotMobi Journalist

Accuweather projects that over 107 million people every day see the AccuWeather brand and weather.

Go to Accuweather.mobi and showcased on that page is verbiage promoting their .mobi!!

Sensational.

it is useless to post new .com sites because .com has already made it. for a brand new extension it is huge news everytime a major company starts their .mobi site. hard to see how it isnt great news for the extension that one of the largest weather sites in the world has decided to use their .mobi. if you dont like reading about all the new .mobi sites then dont visit the .mobi section of namepros.

.mobi was launched only 8 months ago, so it is very important for us to know wheather major corporations adopt this new extension or not.

from the point of view of mobi, it doesn't matter, it shows their support of the extension....that's what matters ...not where it points

if they didn't like and support the extension, they would ignore it in the first place, but they _didn't_ ......that's what matters

Agreed. I've seen numerous non-mobi domains become mobile compliant in the past few months - why is nobody posting those? That's good for mobile use, but is it because it's not .mobi?

In the absence of any real information and substance from the leadership at mTLD ... domainer enthusiasts of the .MOBI feed off of any "news" they can find in order to validate / add a sense of credibility and timeliness to the extension IMHO.

Righto, this example here, of course, is another "pointer" to the .COM site!

Perhaps mTLD can share with us HERE the seeming reluctance of many, many End users and other examples posted here ... to use the .MOBI as a stand-alone site?
I'm sure many others are asking these same questions ...

See you soon.

I defended negative views regarding .mobi on an another subject. But this general statement is totally ridiculous and insulting.

Why, because you don't agree with it?

The O.P. stated from the beginning that he is, "I am not 100% sure" ... and then asks for "Opinions???". Please refer to the quotes in my post, and you can see how I followed up with offering my thoughts and opinions on the matter at hand, IMHO.

And you wonder why I and others always seem to focus on your statements so much? Does this statement lend anything to this conversation on the MOBI board? If you'd like to make this comment, feel free, but go do it on the general domaining forum, where I'm sure you'll find a few other like-minded individuals. I just don't understand your point. Is this your idea of fun? Is this your idea of "professional"?

I'm kind of a .mobi enthusiast and you say that we are putting news in "order to validate / add a sense of credibility and timeliness to the extension." It's not the case and you insult me by saying so.

Then. First, I don't agree with your statement about reluctance. Second, as I said before I don't think mTLD should be worried about domainers. Third, you made the same statement in another subject regarding default and you certainly did not read my post right about yours. Because, I explained why I thought mTLD should NOT discuss their work regarding defaulting to .mobi. You are not discussing just throwing your same statements over and over...I was maybe a bit naive...

Edit: Fourth, don't you think you made your point that you think there is a lack of discussion from mTLD and you don't need to put it in every subject?.

"Troll"? Oh, Jeff, I don't even know where to start...so I won't. You're beyond rational thought, obviously.
