.mobi dead or .mobi on NP dead ?
this section is pretty much dead
advice was given a few thousand times. it was ignored
this is the result
i occassionally post something but will save it for other places too i think
Dream on Labrocca, this section died a long time before the layout change. You and others rag on .mobi and it's enthusiasts for years until they leave and then you declare the extension dead. What a demented spin.This section is dead because of the new layout. Mobi enjoyed a top position on the page with not only upper left hand corner but also an image. Now this section is just one of many and there is no draw here.
There is really nothing left to discuss about mobi. I guess we could rehash any one of a thousand different arguments but why? For all intense purposes mobi is dead for most domainers. A few die hards hold on tight but the general domainer has moved on to greener pastures.
This section had it's day in the spotlight...the fat lady has sung.

From what I've seen, .mobi domains seems to rank better on Yahoo and Google's mobile search engines -- if that's indeed the case, then they have a very obvious use for development.
Just wait another 2 years and see what happens with .MOBI, it has not really taken of yet.
You know how many years it took .COM to succeed. The mobile internet will be huge and .MOBI
will play a big role in that.
Just kidding, indeed it's quiet but not only here and I wouldn't blame the MOD's for that.
And yes, I own some MOBI's. (Good ones ofcourse)i
How many years DID it take for .COM to succeed ?
Well it really depends on what timeline you go by to start. I would say it was doing very well in 1997 or 1998 and that's about the last couple years that registering keyword domains was possible. But the internet was around since the 80's. I would mark the start of the modern internet in 1994 when Netscape Navigator was released. Mosaic was released in 1993 and was the first graphical browser but I would start at 1994. So that's imho about 3-4 years before the net took off.
Mobi is already in it's 3rd year now isn't it? Many mobi fans say it will take years for mobi to be a success but I think it's going to take years for mobi fans to realize the failure. Mobi was done incorrectly. It had a chance but ultimately it is not catching on.

Believers will have you believe anything :D
They'd like you to believe that .mobi is a major success in an alternate reality.

Domaining is not the sole method of evaluating an extension.

To say .mobi is dead is only a very slight exaggeration, it is a bit like saying .biz is dead, ok some people still speculate in it but it is as good as dead.
The new theme now with .mobi speculators is talking of development, that is what happens when there is no money left in anything else, you take down the goalposts in favour of a another more opaque scoring method.
Here is an interesting comparison,
In 2007 dnjournal reported 44 .mobi names in their global contenders sales chart (44% of the global contenders chart)
In 2008 dnjournal it was 10 .mobi names in their global conteders sales chart (10%)
In 2009 dnjournal they have 1 .mobi name in their global contenders sales chart (1%)
You can see how sales have shrunk even compared to other less than stellar extension that make up that chart (.net, .org .info, .biz etc)
Admittedly mtld seems to have given up on the auctions though still the extensions performance is lame.
It is when you are a domainer!

Well, part of the question was if .MOBI is dead on NP and yes it is. It's getting a bit scary now if the
.MOBI community has withdrawn themselves in the holy .MOBI church. and we all know where that is.
You can still join the .MOBI community but please do not talk about things outside the church, where the bad guys are. I think there is a word for that kind of communities but I won't say it here.
Don't y'alll see that you are not helping dot .MOBI by not posting here. You all ought to promote .MOBI
wherever you can, despite some people overhere who are bashing the TLD. You all are making a big
mistake by not posting here anymore.
