Well, first of all I have no cultural side. Born and raised on the Jersey City docks, so a family outing was roasting potatoes (and nothing else) and watching bodies float down the Hudson River with the Statue of Liberty as a backdrop. Maybe that is why I ended up working in homicide.
Actually, development for single word sites that have a lot of googles searches is easy.
Originally, I was going to do a site that would give people all that dinner talk that they would like to have but never learned.
So, as they head for the men's room, they can find out in two minutes (one-handed ,of course) as to what Marcel Proust did and was famous for.
Then, providing that he can remember it for the next ten minutes, he can come back to the group and display his " cultural side "
Doc
agreed, and typing this one handed as well.. :rock:

Doc's a legend
No, just the guy who spent every day in detention doing Latin verb declensions and translating Caesars Gallic Wars from Latin to English to French.
A real violation of the U.S. Constitutions 8th Ammendment (Cruel and Unsual Punishment) is...The Sisters of Charity.
These women, when it came to punishment, made Atilla the Hun look like a ******.
And quick with the hands or anything within reach.
I had one nun that I thought was Sister Rocky Marciano.
I guess being single and dressed in 20 pounds of heavy gabardine all day with those little habits that made their faces look the size of a baseball card, got to them a bit.
So, I took a lot of hits...leaned a lot of Latin...and have raised millions of dollars for the Sisters of Charity, over the last 25 years.
Must be like the Stockholm Syndrome whereby you identify with your captors after a substantial period of time.
Doc
LOL,
Gotta appreciate their devotion and single-mindedness in "helping" (i.e., making) kids LEARN. Years later when you look back on it you realize that the teachers who were the toughest/strictest did the most for your mind/character. God bless 'em .... just replace their wooden rulers with rubber ones... :coo2l:

For a resource of taking a single name and making something appealing out of it, take a look at a site some guy with the handle scriptfordali did with a domain snowleopard.mobi
I got a lot out of it.
This is beautiful work and in one page, you can be an expert talking " snowleopardese"
Now don't confuse that language with " lesbianese " because it takes time to lick that one.
Hey can the NamePros moderators come over here and put me in the woodshed for that line?

Hmnnn...maybe if they had rubbers back then I wouldn't have gotten hit so much.
Wait a minute let me re-read your post...sorry, you meant rubber rulers.
Never mnd...
Doc
P.S. It has been over 40 years and their discipline still guides me in life. Not in character because I am as irreverent as they come. I can make sport of them but I admire every one of them.
Interestingly enough, I also was taught by Benedictine nuns, yet have no affiliation with them.
They just were not a tough enough tribe to remember I guess.
I imagine in the Visigoths vs. The Sisters of Charity, the Goths would be going down.

Okay, ya' got me on a roll now. So much so, that I am giving up my swim today.
Let's amplify on the development of .mobi. We need something to set .mobi aside from every other extension. So, why not brand ourselves with being the gatekeepers and delivery system for information.
Since .mobi must, essentially, due to screen pixel size and browser capabiity, run on somehat of a reduced platform, why not capitalize on that. Turn an affliction into an advantage.
Let .mobi assume the mantle as the information purveyor.
We see guys like Scandi putting their heart into defending .mobi to single-mided naysayers. Let's give him some help.
Create sites that are informational, as information IS the capital of mobi.
The Doc, Gerry, down in North Carolina did an iCPR.mobi site awhile back.
These are the sites we need to display, so as to let people know .mobi is their answer for...answers.
Maybe we playfuly tag .mobi as " mountains of best information ". Say it enough and it will catch on in people's mind. If we need to convert the holy unknowings, then we could start with that tounge-in-cheek slogan.
Think for a moment, you make a site called WhoSaidIt.mobi
On that site can be quotes and other little snippets that give a person the 30 second history lesson, ready for immediate use.
Ex: " Who shall guard the Guardians " Cicero after taking over after Caesar was assasinated was presented with the Praetorian Guard, those who were to protect him. This was the same group charged wth protecting Caesar. Thus, his quote makes perfect sense.
Ex: Vidkund Quisling, " Some will see treason is effective in saving a country."
Vidkun Quisling was a twentieth-century Norwegian politician and head of Norway's home-grown form of Nazism. He urged Hitler to invade his country in hopes of becoming Norway's supreme leader. Hitler did. And Quisling did -- for exactly five days. The Nazis quickly placed him in a figurehead position while one of their own actually ran the country. Within months of the war's end, Quisling got his just desserts. He was executed by firing squad. And a new word entered the dictionary, not only in English, but in many other languages. A Quisling is the person who quietly, from wthin, betrays a group.
Imagine the person sitting at the airport, gathering up all their new dinner chatter, as they navigate from one informational .mobi link to another.
To go from Predators Aristotle.mobi, to Gerry's Faust.mobi to Scandis WllaCather.mobi to NewDomainers Psalms.mobi
We can control the rise and outcome of .mobi and the anwser lies in informational content and linking each others informational content.
.mobi needs to be like the Hotel California...you can check in but you can't check out.
With all that information linked why would ayone be fleeing that platform quickly?

Gee, I hope Sister Caherine Eucharia isn't a mobility member reading this. I'll be in hot water all over again.
If she is alive, she has to be about 109. And that is possible.
Ever want to read a great study on longevity, mental, acuity and sustained cognizance...google " The Sisters of Mankato ".
Group of retired nuns, I forget which order, from Mankato, Minnesota that the Caholic church allowed to be studied in retirement and then have their brains autopsied upon death. Now, this " body desecration ", so to speak, for the Caholic church was a huge leap but, I reason this was a special disepensation due to the societal effects of the gathered data.
Great read.

Keats (Revered Irish poet)I thought that he was an English poet (one of the English Romantics). Perhaps William Butler Yeats was the Irish poet you had in mind? :)

You are right and thanks for pointing that out.
I never should have bought that domain because having to think about Englishmen hurts my head.
Now, I am plagued until I rid myself of it. Therefore, I will honor my error and lower Keats to $10.

You Irish Maquire? Gotta be with a name like that. You shoulda gone for my domain Limericks.mobi when it was on auction a little while ago. Eventually went for a hundred bucks. With your name, sense of humor and culture it was tailor-made for you.

American...with Irish ancestry. Familiy has been here since the 1780's.
Like the limericks but most of the ones I know should never be put in print and only repeated to men OR women whose intentions are already suspect. known or provable.
