domain My .mobi's

[slugraduate]

I purchased three .mobi domains. These will likely be the last ones I buy. My thoughts on the .mobi case is that .mobis like first names, cook, lll, nnn are not going to be where it's at. I see people regging things like freewirelesscalls.mobi and think to myself "Why?". My opinion is that the traditional mobile targets will do best. News, Sports, music, games & pics.
Furthermore, people will more often than not, simply select a link from the start page, rather than typing in an address with current mainstream cellular technology. I know that there are palm and blackberries out there with great capability, but most people do not have those just yet, due to purchase prices.

So, with that theory I bought NewsCast.mobi, MusicCast.mobi & MediaCast.mobi. It seems that there are a lot of cellular add-on services that end with cast. (i.e. vcast, picturecast, etc.) Now, these names in the .com wouldn't be particularly valuable. Good, but not GREAT. However, in the mobile world, I believe they would be more relevant to the access method and lingo. I am aware that it is much too early for valuations, except to base these against the .mobi auctions at pool. My real desire is to know what you think about the usefulness of the names in the mobile world.

Thank you.

newscast is a pretty good domain for both com and mobi. Hope "cast" catches on as a mobi buzzword for you.

Short and Sweet

How I would rate .mobi names.

Ultra Premium Names:

cnn, mtv, abc, espn, msn, nfl, nba, nascar

Premium Names:

news, weather, sports, stock quotes, interest rates etc.

Good Names:

Longer and less known acronyms that can branded for cell content

Poor Names:

Pretty well anything else.

I don't think you can go wrong with your 3 name choices.I see someone also purchased videocast,vidcast and vodcast.I wouldn't be in too much of a hurry to sell them until you see where the technology is going.
