Just posted the sales on my blog and analysis on each sale - my opinion of whether they were at market value and above/below. Keep in mind, I did this while at work doing other things, so I flew past a couple without really looking deep.

just want to personally acknowledge that steve did an AWESOME job of capturing the info!

mobi
----
in re: mobi, yeah, results were kinda crappy, but those reserves were *little* too high imo. but for a new extension, i thought it did remarkably well?

if you think you can "analyze" and predict the future, please give me some winning lottory tickets!

however, i think it would be prudent for mobi investors to stop regging some ridiculous names (trust me, i've regged some crappy names early on).

imho, keywords AND brandable names have a bright future regardless of TLDs.

dotnet
------
i was glad to see the bastard child of dotcom come out and see the sunlight though!


hope for the best and plan for the worst! diversify, diversify, diversify!

Not a fair assessment since dotnet was birthed along with dotcom...if anything it's the ugly twin.

google results for quoted searches:

com 5.6 billion
net 1.5 billion
org 1.3 billion
mobi 20 million

Recognition is everything.

"Snuff.com $45,000 * (unfortunately tied in with illegal activities and little else)"

Snuff also refers to sniffing tobacco.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snuff

It's really what the word means.

Yes recognition is everything:
.us 52.9 million

I get 2.9 BILLION results...where are you getting only 52 million?

There is no silver lining in the .mobi live auction showing. .mobi fell flat on it's face. The only time I saw a paddle going up for a .mobi was for the 2 that sold. The sucker herd is thinning.

damn, some domainers didnt sell some .mobi's to other domainers.

the extention is hereby doomed.

:lol: the silver lining is better deals for great names on the aftermarket now for those who understand the potential in .mobi.

Just posted the sales on my blog and analysis

Thanks for sharing your analysis :tu:

I flew past a couple without really looking deep.

Appreciated anyway - particularly glad to see you rated discountinsurance.com as a good buy.

Just posted the sales on my blog and analysis on each sale - my opinion of whether they were at market value and above/below. Keep in mind, I did this while at work doing other things, so I flew past a couple without really looking deep.

Thanks for your info.

BTW, I think sale.mobi was a pass @ $65,000

"Snuff.com $45,000 * (unfortunately tied in with illegal activities and little else)"

Snuff also refers to sniffing tobacco.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snuff

It's really what the word means.

I kinda remembered that but wasn't sure how prevalent that was and as I said flew by some names. I'll change that to **...I used to see people chew tobacco on a somewhat regular basis when I was younger, and it's now been probably over a decade since I've seen anyone do it. I'm sure there are areas where it may be done a lot, but so many people view it as simply disgusting. So ironically, both uses of the word have negative connotations, lol. Still, I get your point and would rate it 2 stars instead of 1...can't rate it as low as Pimple.com.

There is no silver lining in the .mobi live auction showing. .mobi fell flat on it's face. The only time I saw a paddle going up for a .mobi was for the 2 that sold. The sucker herd is thinning.

:hi: Gregr, hopefully the Upstate New York Vacation is treating you well.

The suckers are indeed running thin. :yell: . Of course, since one man bought all the .mobis at TRAFFIC West's auction, once he left, no demand.

But hey! As promised, a picture of the guy who bought one of the two mobis (maybe both) is talking on his phone (in the middle).

That's my point...not that mobi is dead..it's that it is LOSING VALUE in comparison to other extensions which are on the rise. I would even argue .tv is doing well with gains. I would much rather have slow steady growth for 10 years than 1 year of overhyped sales and then a drastic drop. dotnet is NOT speculation...it's a proven extension and yes..maybe 10% the value of dotcom but guess what...I can find you threads from sometime last year where most agreed .net was 5% of dotcom...so in essence it's DOUBLED in the views of many domainers including me. Due to the high cost of dotcom dotnet is becoming increasingly more attractive. dotnet is distinguishable and passes the radio test VERY well. If you tell someone go to keyword dot net...they rememember it. They are not confused. dot org is still heavily assiciated with organizations while dotnet...well it's just internet. mobi has almost no recognition. When I go to the casino I like to play the games where the odds are mostly in my favor. For those willing to play roulette..enjoy the mobi and yes if you hit you might hit big but if you lose...you will have no chips left to gamble. dotnet presents good opportunities imho and I just like to share my opinion (as many well know).

I don't think because of my posts everyone is going to run out and buy dotnets...but hey...when in a year or two a couple people listened...they might think back and say "yeah...Labrocca was right glad I listened to him".

dotnet is the safe bet imho..maybe it won't skyrocket but it will surely continue to see gains

Thank you.

Labrocca,

Totally agree. I came across an article a few years ago regarding mobile tv, and how it "might" be the next up and coming thing. TV on mobile devices. I think one of the first tests was done during a soccer (football) match over in Europe, and the provider gave out a number of mobile devices to watch the match, and see what the response was, if I'm remembering correctly. I then started to reg a few mobiletv.com names. Then, .mobi came out, and I thought, oh crap, there goes my mobiletv.com reg's. I kept them anyway, and kind of glad I did. I know .mobi doesn't mean mobile tv, but at the time when it first came out, I thought my reg's would be worthless.

Thanks

I deal a lot in the ad agency world and have many contacts there... one of the things I KNOW is happening right now is that a lot of buys are happening right now because of preparing for fall/pre-holiday advertising campaigns. Most of these are probably private and not being reported as part of public numbers. Domains are becoming an increasingly important part of marketing/advertising campaign plans and obviously if you are going to include a NEW domain in a campaign, you have to secure it before you can get to work on the campaign itself.

Contgrats again Sharon, and thanks for the informative post!

Just wondering if you are familiar with the work of this fine agency:

http://adage.com/outofsite/post?article_id=118755

If yes, perhaps you can invite them to our forum next time they need a domain name for a high-profile campaign - I'm sure our collective efforts could produce something snappier and/or more memorable than the three-worder they've chosen.

They could have done a lot worse of course - given that it was a new registration - I just think it sounds too much like a public service announcement
