.mobi Getting .mobi into rightful place in Sedo tld search thread.

[Pred]

Hi Guys,
decided to start a dedicated thread to getting .mobi in it's rightful place in the sedo tld search.
For those that are not aware(you never know some may not ) when you search for a domain on sedo, you get ........

.com
.cctld (either .co.uk , .de etc. depending which sedo you are on)
.eu
.info
.biz
.net
.org

the rest of the cctlds etc. are listed below
So, unless you search directly for a .mobi from the drop down menu on left you may never see it.



This is obviously unfair to the following people:

1/ mobi sellers
2/ mobi buyers
3/ mtld
4/ future investors/sellers

Who's to blame?

1/ sedo

Have sedo been informed?
Yes

Are they aware?

Yes

Will they correct this?
Yes ( we w ill make sure of it)

Something like this would look better :imho:


.com
.cctld (either .co.uk , .de etc. depending which sedo you are on)
.mobi
.net
.org
.info
.biz

(really .mobi anywhere in this list would be fine. .biz should be at bottom though!):imho:

I spoke to Brad Tilley(former Sedo senior rep. and all-round nice guy)
last October and he said wheels were in motion to add the tld .mobi to the tld section.
Well, unfortunately Brad moved into a different part of sedo & this never got done.
I think on top of this we have seen the general level of sedo broker standards slip into oblivion too. It seems the general concensus.
Either they are victims of their own succes (at best) or just plain useless.

I am lucky though, there is one outstanding broker who works for sedo & she is assigned to me and some others. I won't reveal her name just yet, but when she carries the job through to which she has been assigned :hehe: ,
i would like a statue erected :blink: , in the .mobi flower garden we have here in the mobi forum .
You know, hang a left past Jeff's dressing room (the one with the gold star on it, and the giggling groupies inside) straight down the corridor & through the fire doors. Aaaah, so pleasant, i love it there... naysayers are banned. :hehe:

Anyway, back to the point, i am slowly cranking up the emails & this is a call to arms, pm your reps, email them, emphasise your amazement & disquiet that this is still not been rectified.
Apart from anything else sedo are missing out on potential sales & 10% fees & potential registartions through their 1 and 1 partners.
That's just from their own viewpoint. Apart from the fact that they are upsetting their core customer base (domainers) & mtld.

Here's an email i got (edited) back from the 'sedo legend'. She may just pull this off guys...about time:

Hi Guy,


I have taken this up directly with management here and reiterated the urgency that we find a solution to this asap as I do agree with you that something has to be done and you said it, your custom is very valuable to us. I have also informed our forum reps to keep all the domainers informed of our progress and changes so they don’t get too angry about it. I will keep you in the loop as soon as I hear anything.



Thanks for communicating your dissatisfaction with Sedo and I appreciate your patience in this matter.



Kind regards,

No worries.
I haven't had to ring them up just yet and say.......

'Uzi 9mm ' in my best Austrian accent. :hehe:

Personally, I think this doesn't matter at all, not one tiny bit. There are much bigger fish to fry than where .mobi is on Sedo's drop down menu.

That's what I thought at the start when somebody first mentioned it, but I'm sure if you can imagine you're are the average domain buyer at Sedo (as hard as that may be) and try doing a search you'll see why we feel so strongly about this one

cool. you fry those fish, i'll fry these
:hehe:

nb: it's also about making it fundamentally clear that .mobi is a tld NOT a cctld.
This will help sales and .mobi all round

also hoping to sort this

Assuming '(edited)' doesn't refer to the bit I emphasized in bold above, it looks like a few NP members can make people at Sedo very thankful...

No, i was cool, polite,... i was professional :hehe:

I get on with her really well.
I just edited her name out and a couple of other non-applicable sentences.

The email i sent was to the point, but not without humour :sold:

She's cool. She sees our point of view actually on all fronts.

Arnie, once you're done with Sedo you may need to talk to the US Government:

Maybe start at dnf :hehe:

That place is ridiculous.. Read the funniest thread there in the Gold Cafe a couple days back... A couple guys duking it out like a couple of little children. Some of those members there need to learn some manners.

I think thats a bit negative Garret, .mobi has earned a bit more respect than is being given by Sedo at the moment. It is not a cc, its unique.

great idea...keep up the great work

Guy you know i'm with you mate!

Here's the war cry!!!

We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, Ireland & the USA,

we shall fight on the seas and oceans,

we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our .mobi, whatever the cost may be,

we shall fight the bitches (Sedo),

we shall fight on the landing grounds,

we shall fight in the fields, on the chatrooms and in the streets,

we shall fight in the hills;

we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this fan base or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the .mobi supporters, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New mobile internet, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old."

The end! (This is not TM'ed you may cut and paste at will!! LOL)
