I will hereby refer to it as ".mobi" (or whatever you'd like me to call it) IF we can finally get
all of the ANSWERS to these questions and concerns here in this space ... :yell: :imho:
Mark, you like Holly, are breaths of fresh air ... and I
thank you both for adding to the lively, healthy discussion here, IMHO. We're apparently still a good bit of a way from the ANSWERS to the
key questions and concerns that have been severely plaguing the
"dot Mobey" and mTLD, but at least we're on topic, not acting juvenile (as can be witnessed above over and over again), and
working together in a reasonable fashion to share thoughts and opinions in this quest, humbly. :gl:
One of my best friends in the world, and highly intellient and savvy - her name is Jen - has a new iPhone and surfs on that thing and send messages like a crazy woman! :talk: :hearts:
She visits sites - regular .COM websites - all the time, and uses the internet with ease in surfing, ordering stuff, emails, you name it, no worries. I sat down with her over the weekend and told her about the ".MOBI" and pointed her to a few sites (let's face it, there are only a few, real stand-alone (not redirects, defensive corporate โข "cookie cutter" stuff and subdomain hosted, etc.), bone-fide developed webistes to point her to ... ) and she thought they were "fake" or "dummy" sites, IHHO. She specifically told me that the ".mobi" itself seemed very unprofessional and even
made-up, not having any real credibility. The experience, she went on to say, was very
limiting ... she could not understand why she wasn't able to get the full enjoyment and use of the website(s), as the .COM had always provided her! Jen is extremely HiP and VERY INTELLIGENT (like one or two questions away from perfect on her SAT's, and MBA, well traveled, making a LOT of money, etc.) ... and she thought the "dot Mobey" was bogus and had no future in a burgeoning and
totally unrestricted Mobile Webยฉ. :talk:
Hopefully ^ these perceptions and CONCERNS can be addressed adequately, as well!
