This is alot to read but is incredibly important and vital to the success of our precious Mobi names.


We have heard quite a few times over the past few months about developing our Mobi names, but this should not be overlooked at all! Development is the only way to success with these Mobi names or else .com will get our audience.

Yes, there are reserved names for companies that plan on developing their names, but that is only a tiny percentage of the names that have already been registered.

Think about it this way. Back in the mid 90s most people didn't know about domaining and the fortune it could bring if you had solid quality names. So *most people never thought much about buying too many .coms. Most of the people that bought .com names were the ones that actually wanted to develop a website for fun or for a business. It was like this until the early 2000s aswell. There was at least a decade of website development. Compared to today there was minimal hoarding going down for high quality names. There were only a fraction of the domainers playing the game.

That's why .com succeeded. Because there was content from development. People would type in something they wanted to look up in the url bar and it brought them to an exciting website with information that helped them out.


Now, at least 90% of the people that own Mobi names are domainers who plan on sitting on their names. If we all plan to park our pages our opportunity for MOBI becoming a success will fly right by us.

WE MUST DEVELOP OUR MOBI NAMES!

This is really the only way it will become successful. It already has .com competing against it that already has content. If people can't find what they want on .mobi they will switch to .com.

If you want to make money with parking at least do it some time after MOBI becomes a success. Build your websites now, eventually you can put adsense on them, and you will be golden. If you aren't happy with your earnings after the general public knows about MOBI then go back to parking your website. But for now the public needs content on these MOBI pages.

Please develop your websites. This is truly the only way Mobi will take off. We don't want a content less mobile internet. I have a ton of names but after thinking about all of this I am going to make it my priority to develop each and every one of them.

Thankyou,

Mike/Thinking1

Of course we must develop our .mobis, but I for one

will NOT because I have better things to do with my time

and money and I suspect many other speculators will do

the same. .mobi may be the only domain used by

domainers for trading with other domainers.

Any other speculators out there developing their .mobis ?

I encourage you to do so, so I may eventually cash in.

Developed all the names in my sig. Some may need some minor tweaking, but they are aimed at end users, and do work on the mobi emulator :)

I'm glad you two are developing. Cosmicray, I originally planned on doing the same thing as you. But I realized that I'm sure there are many many people thinking the same thing and nothing would get done like that.

So I'm going to take some action and do some great development. That way we can all cash in later, and yes... you can too.

:bingo: thinking1 is right on...the best way to own a .com is to dev and the same will be true for .mobi.

I think the premiums will be dev ...if you target your audience correctly I dont think it will matter if sex.mobi is dev or not.


I own 32 .mobi and will prolly dev 4

I aggree, for .mobi to take off, there needs to be developed sites that offer useful info to the enduser. I am currently in the works of developing 2 of mine. Rxd.mobi (pharmacy locater) and Ipad.mobi (a mobile notepad to write down thoughts, a calendar ect... and eliminate the need to sync between PC and mobile) And after I plan on developing my other .mobis as soon as I can afford the production cost.
