domain "Text Style" .Mobis - like SPRTS.MOBI

[rob67]

Hello again,

This summer I was thinking about .mobi domains. I thought that since people abbrieviated everything while texting, the same might be a good idea for cell phone domains.

Anyway, I may have just wasted a ton of cash - but here is what I have. Anyone else think this is a good idea - value? Any of the below stick out more than others?

BRTNDR.MOBI - Bartender
FTBL.MOBI football
HLDM.MOBI holdem
HLDMPKR.MOBI holdempoker
MVI.MOBI Movie
PRTY.MOBI party
QTE.MOBI Quote, as in stock quote
SPRTS.MOBI Sports
TXHLDM.MOBI texasholdem

Thanks in advance for any input.

ftbl.mobi stands out as a good one in this genre 'txt spk'

I think the LLL's are worth $175-200 to a reseller. The rest of them ... umm ... I'm old. I don't know how to txt spk (sp?). I couldn't pick these out of a lineup. Reg fee to a reseller. Maybe high XX to an enduser who gets it.

The way of the domain right now is short, keyword, or brandable. Your's would fall into brandable. People would have to know to key in your names for them to become valuable. That would require marketing. That would reduce the value of an undeveloped name in the reseller market.

LLL's hold value because, at least in this tld, it is the shortest version of a name you can get and there are a limited amount of them, considering (17,000+ if I remember correctly).

Keywords hold value because in the SE arena, they perform in results. The stronger the keyword the better your name will theoretically perform.

Good luck
