Look at those numbers.......230 million subscribers.......half a BILLION web page visitors a day.........all for a company most people in North America never heard of.

Mobi is a world wide extension. Obviously, the potential is mind boggling.

This just illustrates part of the beauty of .mobi, it is a "global" extension. Nice find and thanks for sharing!

Top 500? It is #14 . It used to be in Top 5!
www.sina.com.cn is the portal. Not www.sina.com which is the company's homepage.

Oh... Good Christ... I'm one of those North Americans that's never heard of them, although I'm sure I'll be hearing a whole lot more about them on this forum with those kinds of numbers... More popular than ebay? All I can say is WOW :kickass:

This type of news just goes to show that .mobi has the potential to be king! Mobile devices are taking over the world and this little ext here could reign supreme over all others (including .com). Great news!

some days we're getting 2 / 3 stories like this. It seems that at the moment there is at least one great story EVERY day! These are just the ones we're finding out about!!! I think 2008 will be HUGE for mobi

 

[cosmik debris]

With all the research being done and the results/projections numbers growing there is no doubt that 2008 and beyond will be exciting times for the mobile market. Mobi = Global Trend.

big agree Arnie...it's a big world...and not all companies have their heads up their ass like alot of US companies do...pardon my French...mobi could end up being a mass of niche sites with only one good niche needed to rocket the extension into the top 4 or 5 of all time...imho

They have also went live with mobile .com

Comments?

 

[seanboy]

You're viewing the site from the opera mini browser. They didn't go mobile with their com.

 

[saltysoda]

This just added more to the success of dotmobi and its my hope dotmobi's bashers realize that dotmobi is moving full speed ahead not backwards.

Exactly, they dont have to. The browser does it

 

[circa1850]

No, your computer browser does it.

You're right, they don't have to. But they want to. Why? to give their 230 million customers worldwide the services they want and to keep that customer base. That is nearly the population of the entire US.

Show us an image of your cell phone with the same graphic.

What else you got?

 

[seanboy]

Exactly, they dont have to. The browser does it

But they did anyway. Look if you're trying to pull me into yet another fight, its not going to work. I have way more important things to worry about than your opinion on some domain extension. Save it for someone who actually cares about what you think.

So you're saying that they don't need the mobi but just regged it for the hell of it.
