I wouldn't say .Mobi is King, I think .mobi is a new breed for the endusers adapting to the mobile web and could join .com as another King in our domain universe. It is getting branded everyday by the youth and by buinsess person as well as other mobile users. .Com and .mobi are different.... (And both can co exist together) Especialy with 200+ extentions worldwide and possible alot more!

.com will always be a king

.mobi is speculative but gaining alot of ground.

agreed
its never been a competition between .com & .mobi
thats just how some naysayers painted it.

com is king, it wants to be, its what i mainly own BUT .mobi is without doubt the most exciting area to be in, to see the takeup by large .coms having a .mobi mobile site and also new startups that are siding with .mobi

exciting times

you see problem is a lot of naysyaers bought crap. .ws, .us, .cc hoping they would be different, successful
of course nevber happened. same story for .asia

.mobi is the unique pearl. just watch Guys

Haha i was only joking, i know that .com is always going to be king.

Although i feel that it could be a well used extension for mobile phones, i feel it will be the King of the web for mobile phone browsing.

What is it that they say about the sound of a tree falling in the forest with nobody around?

What is Microsoft going to do promote this other than mentioning it on the site itself and on one game page? Do a google search on xbox.mobi and you'll see most of the references are from domain forums and .mobi enthusiast sites.

at least its a tree and there is a forrest growing exponentially.

i don't see any xbox.net, xbox.org, xbox.info, xbox.biz, xbox.tv, or xbox.etc on there. just the .mobi on the .com homepage. i can't seem to find anything negative to say about that.

wont let me rep, 100np donated

That is a circular argument, the only reason we are even talking about the page is because of the rarity of a major company using a .mobi. What other extensions did you expect to see on the the microsoft page when you saw this thread?

Not only is there nobody around, but unfortunately the forest already burned down.

well, in a roundabout way, you have your point there. huh. what are the majors using their .com pages to promote by the hundreds.. it isnt't .net, .org, .info, .biz. its the little fun mobile site. mr.mobi.

that's why smirnoff is chosing to run a full fledged mobile .mobi campaign after seeing the results of its test. that's why .mobi is exponentially growing in the mobile banking, auto, airline and entertainment sectors. what a good first half to 2008!!!
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=487078

your posts are patently demonstrative of people actively trying to make a professional subforum become a .mobey playground. xbox and xbox.com sit atop a peak of a multibillion dollar industry. xbox.com markets its xbox.mobi for all to see and use. yes. you may find it a snooze. a tree silently falling in a forgotten, overhyped woods. a sighting of the abominable snowman. funny, for me a glass of champagne and a cigar please.

i guess its one man's treasure. forget .mobi, i take it you had no vision to invest in the mobile game sector...or mobile search, navigation, shopping, etc. you continually fail to see that these threads boast news that is not only great for .mobi, but great for the mobile investor.

.tv investors are experts in the extension and hopefully the larger picture of video and tv. .mobi investors are experts in the extension and hopefully mobile - the upcoming 6th medium. being an expert in mobile is challenging, while you heckle from the sidelines, we read whitepapers, join alliances, connect with experts and look for vc. a speaker for weather channel recently said that mobile is beyond our present imagination. there is plenty to imagine, create and explore.

you dont try to wrap your noodle around something real, stop being just a domainer. get into the real root of the trade(s) you deal with. otherwise...the real snooze...the real tree falling, well take a guess..

by the way, if you do have any ill-intent by peeing on these threads, karma's a b1tch and good luck with that...

Why do the mods allow trolls to piss in every .mobi thread? It is so counterproductive. Yes, it'll generate more page views for the forum itself, but it will only lead to another mass exodus. No wonder most .mobi developers and investors have left to other forums. Is that truly what the mods want? I doubt RJ wants that.

learn to ignore trolls . In fact, put them on ignore so you don't have to read the same sh!t every time they post. You'll end up enjoying this forum more when you've got them on ignore. Stop wasting your time replying to them and feeding the trolls. When everyone has them on ignore, they'll simply fade away.


re: XBOX.mobi

I'm glad someone posted the info here. I didn't post it here because all the useless trolls, but make no mistake this move by Microsoft is a huge MILESTONE for .mobi.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=487078

Ignore the naysayers/detractors, the ones who've mad comments about trees & forests, etc... BS.

XBOX.mobi is part of Microsoft's major campaign for xbox live anywhere. XBOX's gaming service reaches into 25+ countries and has 10,000,000 members in the xbox live community. The numbers are growing fast too. Keep in mind, many of the members are paying $50 a year for the live services, broadband users, early adopters, covering a highly coveted demographic. The userbase for XBOX & XBOX LIVE are a marketing juggernaut. If Microsoft has decided to launch XBOX.mobi, I do not doubt for a second each and every one of its users will learn about XBOX.mobi through the XBOX Dashboard. XBOX.mobi will be used as a portal for multiplayer gaming, downloads, checking your gamerscore, gamertag, halo stats, setting up matches, messaging within the community, etc. MS/XBOX has been planning their foray into the mobile world for quite some time... I am excited to see them use XBOX.mobi as the foundation. It's part of a tectonic shift. Just knowing that potentially 10,000,000 active users will learn that .mobi exists and perhaps start typing it in is very exciting. It'll be interesting to see if it has a trickle down effect, where other gaming companies (developers, producers, networks) launch their own .mobis, if game sites that are part of the XBOX ecosystem migrate to .mobi as well. And perhaps gamers will grab their own .mobi for their clan names, gamertags, etc... The power of the XBOX ecosystem has that effect. Let's only hope that MS continues to heavily promote their site. I'm connected to several major gaming services and industry insiders/CXOs. I'll see what they have to say about it. Perhaps I can do my best to push them in the right direction towards developing their own .mobi services. It'll be an easier sell now that they see that Microsoft/XBOX has embraced it.

great news for .mobi - truly great news.
