BofA mobi follow up

sf2010 · 06-22-2008, 11:56 AM

While taking some cash out from one of BofA's ATM and voila, I saw BofA.mobi advertisement!

It was too quick for me to capture the screen with my camera, but it seems like BofA is really doing a good job of advertising this extension....

keithmt · 06-22-2008, 11:58 AM

Glad to hear Bofas continued effort to promote
thier mobi. Quite obvious it's the future

I always find it a bit desperate when people see the need to start a new thread about how they saw a new extension being used, to the point where one poster in this thread suggests filming the ATM. The extension is so underused that any sign of life deserves a thread?

I always find it a bit annoying when people who have no interest in the subject at hand feel the need to jump in and "poot forth" their humble opinion.

The sad part Snoop is that you are trying to help them and they feel insulted
with the jesture.

sf2010 · 06-24-2008, 12:25 PM

lol, this is the same crap over and over. i didn't realize i needed your permission to post what i observed.

i reported what i saw, not what could have been, would have been, might have been.

i am not starting a thread to pump up the extension, but to note a simple observation.

i refuse to get into this churlish comments all over gain so if you feel so compelled not to make money in the mobi extension, why don't you just stay out of this sub-forum altogether?

better yet, put my name on the ignore button? i will do the same.

Here is Cosmic again!!! Egging on.

I am just pointing this out for postive news! Cosmic serriously what is your issue? Are gona try to get us all banned for your ignorant sayings?

The OP of this thread pointed out an advertisment "positive for .mobi" This is not a bashing thread, but it seems like people keep seeping into the cracks finding a need to bash .mobi.

I apploagize to the OP

It was a great find for that Ad for BOFA from the OP

keep the peace, and stop this mobi bashing. Keep the threads real. We are adults and proffesionals and please don't egg it on again!!!!

gou · 06-25-2008, 12:01 PM

The bashers are obviously desperate to play this down as much as possible. They come into this section to argue for the sake of arguing anyway.

namewaiter · 06-25-2008, 02:52 PM

i was walking through a mall here in Cleveland earlier today when i came across a Bank of America ATM, then i remembered this thread...

It also said they have over 18,000 ATMs throughout the country, so if this is marketed on all of them... talk about extension awareness!!!

Hey is that an iPhone???

Pred · 06-25-2008, 02:56 PM

mike? go to the top of class. appreciate it. pred'll buy u a 'jar' when i c u

klm390 · 08-01-2008, 10:04 AM

This commercial came on last night and I became a little excited in anticipation of seeing BOFA.mobi displayed boldly at the end of it. To my disappointment, that's not what I saw.

Don't worry, remember, Pinky said that the iphone is not a mobi killer

but will actually HELP .mobi and take it to a whole new level of popularity.

So the more iphones the better .mobi will do.

this is actually true... you have to understand something here:

In 2005 there were barely any mobile websites or people using their cellphone to get on the internet at all... some did, but mobile phone browsers started to get really good only in 2006.

mobile website = .mobi, mDOT, domain.com/mobile, wap.domain.com, etc, etc, etc..) - same concept.

Still, in 2006 most people did not use their cellphone to get on the internet and some even questioned whether the idea was viable at all.

In 2007 the iphone came and suddenly everyone started to agree that accessing the internet on a mobile device is pretty neat.

There is really nowhere for .mobi to go but UP, since the basic concept of a .mobi website is exactly the same as mDOT, domain.com/mobile, and YES... iPhone Applications!

the only question is how big a slice of the pie will .mobi have?

Seems someone is having an issue with their mobi promotions. If BOFA redirects to their .com and drops their mobi promotion what will mobi fans say then?

Also I am SURE that some mobi fan will reply to this news and twist it somehow to be positive.

namewaiter · 08-01-2008, 01:07 PM

well no spin, except for the fact that this commercial has been around for a while and that they still do have the ad running on their atms for bofa.mobi ... nothings really changed?

DomainTalker · 08-01-2008, 08:22 PM

Ahhh...Here's the poor OLD GUARD at it again....

snoop...cosmicray....labrocca...et al....Experienced and accomplished domainers, they are...But locked by that very experience into a one-dimensional view of domain value...Unable to break out from it....Tunnel-visioned into rejecting any new paradigm of value...Unable to imagine that any extension other than .COM will ever have real value...

Poor, rigid, unimaginative, OLD GUARD....Like the 'Mainframe' IBM of the early '80's - unable to see the financial potential of the desk-top computer....Like the Shipping Line, and Railroad, owners of the 1920's that declared that there would never be any money in mass transport of people by air....Like Old Guard domainers that today declare that there will be no value in .mobi, .asia, .whatever-you-like...

But, that's okay...The world's full of Jeremiah's, and doubting Thomas', and folks that see the future through a rear-view mirror....It was ever thus.

...Y'see, they know they're right, because that's all they know...Blinded by the certainty of past experience. So comfortable. So righteous. So....unimaginative...

Lets leave the poor Old Guard to the comforts of kingdom .Com - They'll make money there....As, indeed, we shall, too...

...We don't need the approval of the OLD GUARD for kingdom .mobi - any more than the 'new-fangled' Motor Car manufacturers - or, Airplane makers - needed the approval of the Buggy & Carriage-makers of yesteryear...

Simply let the Old Guard miss the opportunities we see.

cobo · 08-01-2008, 11:22 PM

Simply a Brilliant Post!
Definitely Repped.

**labrocca** · 08-03-2008, 02:02 AM

Another personal attack and I will report your post for harrassment as well as add you to my ignore. If you have nothing to add to a discussion DomainTalker then I suggest you not post in one.

I don't appreciate you calling me out and also painting me with some untrue brush stroke.

.Unable to imagine that any extension other than .COM will ever have real value...

Oh? Is that why I bought 20 LLL.biz last month? Is that why my #1 developed site is a .net? Is that why I pay thousands of dollars for good .net's? huh? Your entire post was intended to slur members of this forum. It's not professional and it's not appreciated.

Get a clue and either join in the discussion or keep your trap closed.

DomainTalker · 08-03-2008, 09:35 PM

Okay, labrocca...Felt a bit feisty when I posted that...Maybe it was a bit unfair of me...Sorry about that...

...But, then, in fairness, if folks constantly naysay .mobi investors - which .mobi investors do not enjoy - sooner, or later, its not unreasonable to expect a reaction that may be in terms that the naysayer may not enjoy, as well...

Do you still feel the same way 4 months on? Anyone who invested heavily in .mobi has likely lost 90-100% from the peak right now, to add salt to the wound it looks like the Bank of America has given up on .mobi.

It's redirecting to https://www.bankofamerica.com/mobile/,

yet their advertising....
