It’s madness, and its making me sick! |

Thank you equity78, I must admit I find this one rather entertaining, although not as good as some of the original ones. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/dot-mobi/395467-another-blogger-chimes-all-though-they.html Just a sample: "It’s a freaking extension. If marketers promote it, investors will probably make money. If not, investors better hope they aren’t holding the bag like many of the speculators who bought names in other little used extensions. I don’t want to hear any more about bofa, disney, skype….etc. None of that means squat for 99.5% of the .mobi names that were registered based on speculation." There is specualtion in a new domain extension? We can't have that! And Elliot says he doesn't want to hear about certain aspects of the equation, so we should really stop talking about those. Thankfully we have many others that we are still allowed to discuss - until further notice from Elliot.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I know who appointed this guy anything. It is kind of like a circle jerk when you all pat each other on the back and say the same things from Frank to Sahar to Jay to Owen to Elliot. And I own two .mobi domains so I am not a mobian. I just think it is nonsense when you have no interest in an extension to talk about it all the time in a negative light. I mean I do not own any .ws but I would not say .ws sucks because I am sure there are some making money and have interest in the extension. |

I would rather not waste my time reading or discussing the merits of an extension. BTW, the only other time I mentioned .mobi on my blog was in a positive post that led to this thread on NamePros "Elliot Silver talks positive on mobi" (http://www.namepros.com/dot-mobi/384...ghlight=elliot) I am not anti-.mobi - just sick of hearing the same argument over and over.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=395467 Bottom line is that time will tell. I would be just as happy if .mobi takes off - it won't really impact me.

I didn't realize you are a member here, otherwise I wouldn't have poked fun at you before PM'ing you first. It's only when people pass judgement on other people's choices without a real opportunity for discussion that I feel it's not a fair fight. Now that we can have a proper debate I'm happy to leave it to you to choose if and when you want to hear any new arguments. Either way - as you say - time will tell!

![]() | It may sound strange, but I think all of this "mainstream domainer" bashing is a good thing. Eventually, people have to wonder...when it all comes down to it, it's a matter of mass acceptance. When your high school daughter and all her friends use a few good .mobi sites and make the connection that .mobi means its going to work on their cell (regardless of the argument that it doesn't have to be a .mobi)...and they start putting .mobi into their teenage lingo vocabulary and so on and so on....it's all marketing, and gaining acceptance. The more that understand the goal (.mobi = dedicated mobile site), the better. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=395467 When "popular" domainers are getting fed up about all the hype to the point that they start blogging about it...many of their followers learn about what .mobi is...and regardless of whether they "join" in the goal or not...some will and thats a good thing for .mobi. Big companies promoting .mobi this early in the game is just gravy at this point. Although good gravy I must say. And when you step back and take a look at the big picture, this is actually a surprising situation. meegwell

![]() ![]() | >>"# David Carter Says: November 11th, 2007 at 2:56 pm It’s a non-issue for me. If ou like the extension and think you’ll profit from it, go get some names. If you don’t, don’t. Personally, I didn’t. I’m with Sahar on this one and am quite happy to get egg on my face over it. I didn’t buy any Microsoft or Google stock when it was launched either." He missed the boat with Google and Microsoft and he still hasn't learnt anything yet... ![]() "BTW: mortgage.com will never make it to the ‘liability’ column…. like the $10 Billion in bad mortgages Citi group just had to write down. It will always be an ‘asset’ and it will never be a ‘liability’." Wow. I wish I could speak like that. But I am always cautious using the words "always" and "never", for some reason...
Recently another person you interviewed said that "Yesterday Jay at DomainTools Blog also raises some important questions" seemingly to support his argument but in the next post the same blogger said that "Jay made an honest mistake". Also this same person said that ".mobi sucks" and he "doesn't own any .mobi" and in his next post he says that "(Jay) showed a little surprise when I mentioned Rick, myself, and some group who heavily bidded on .mobi"... What's the deal here? It is easy to win any argument if you are in both positions at the same time ![]() With all due respect to those involved, I don't understand what's going on...anyone cares to explain me what you guys mean in your blogs?

I wish .mobi investors the best because some of my industry friends are .mobi investors. I still believe it will be a success if marketers choose to use it for their brands and promote it so consumers know what it is. | ||||||||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I hear the old Jim Jones "Vacation Camp" is available for Lease in Guyana ... But I wouldn't suggest drinking the Mobi Punch myself .... If you guys want to be taken more seriously - May I suggest you stop posting/quoting what "Others" are doing or have done with their .mobi domains And start showing what "YOU" are doing. Every post here or elsewhere looks like you are all trying to build a Directory of other peoples work for goodness sakes. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=395467 In order to promote it now - You'll need to get more Devs up by "YOU" folks - Not set back and watch major Corps do it. The decent hand regs were gone long ago more than likely (Even stated so by many of you) - So to keep promoting it in the forums is just causing Newbies to reg junk and waste money IMO .... You all complain when someone says something negative towards .mobi - Yet , You don't complain when one of you start a thread Asking, Provoking, and even Practically Begging someone to come in and say something negative .... Elliot was minding his own business on His own blog - You guys made it an issue. This sections "Attacks" had started dying down a bit (Give or take the IDN'ers coming in recently to stir the Crap) .... But I really don't think most of you guys even want a "Serene" enviroment in here myself. Perhaps some are worried it will fade into the background without the "Hostility" and emotions Perhaps thats the same reason the IDN'ers showed back up as well ..

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | One thing Everyone should know about this industry - or Life in general for that matter is : There is no such thing as a "Sure Thing". Many of the corps out there with .mobi domains/sites are not "Betting" on it - It's called CYA , Cover your "posterior" just in case .... They won't fade away if .mobi fails - They'll still have mobile access regardless. Despite the fact I'm not a fan of this extension .. I DO NOT want to see people lose their investment(s). This or any extension out there will be "Made" by the Masses , Not by a few Sponsors/Big time investors/corporations. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=395467 Now let me go take a shower - I feel dirty
