Well the dot Mobis community has all the time in the World to spend on Hype. .
I dare challenge you, or 'anyone' to name
one other registry that has done more to promote their tld., and one that has been more of a success in less than 2 years since launching!! And yes I say success and I mean 'to date', because .mobi's have sold more and for more on auctions etc,
than any other 'new' tld has or did in it's same time frame. Just look at the DNJ ytd sales. Now you naysayers can gripe all you want on where .mobi is going, but dead it's not, and the challenge is 'name a more proactive registry to date'. (.com, .net and .org don't count either, as they were the originals and aren't actively promoted by their registries.)
Gripe all you want, but MTLD has done more to make their tld be successful, than .info, .biz, .eu, .us, etc. etc., 'combined'! And yes they've made changes, but if one
doesn't recognize that changes are needed to be successful, well... as we've seen, you get an eternal war spinning out of control like 'Stay the Course W' gave us. So keep in mind, admitting you need to change your original plans is courageous and insightful, not the end of the world like some like dwell on. Whether one likes .mobi or not, whether they will be successful in the long run or not, I still see more benefits in backing a tld that is actively promoted by it's registry, than just buying any tld. and
hope that maybe it'll catch on with the masses. .ASIA just got released, and there is controversary over names being scammed on already!! A company that actively promotes and markets it's product is by far the better place to invest than those that don't.
And let's not all forget too, domaining is not just flipping or selling one extension, it's about buying and selling what is hot and what others will/do buy. (No matter the extension!)
Not trying to impress others that 'they know' what is a good or bad extension. It wouldn't surprise me that 75% of the 'extension experts' here have never had a $xx,xxxx sale, and a bunch more that never even hit a $x,xxx sale. But
'they know' what is good or bad. (Good grief, go flip some L-L-L-L-L-L's or hamburgers or 'whatevers'.)
Domaining is buying and selling, or investing in domain names and extensions one wishes to, NOT criticizing others with
"My extension is better than your extension" childness.
There, I took my time out, now go tell us how great IDN's will be in 2, or 3, or 4, or 8 years or whenever. Either way I couldn't care less, because they're not for me, but I can guarantee you and others,
I'll never criticize those that invest in them or other areas.
