Very true. I've got one .mobi that's been on page 1 and is still doing just fine. It's all about contents and relevancy.

Hi photoman, glad that you are still around. If this sort of news draws people back to Mobility and creates a marketplace again, that should be good for all of us. Hey, I won't mind people knocking...

Very true! The monthly growth this year has been very good, and the last figure reported on July 1 is 1.41%, better than COM's 0.08%, Net's -0.25%, and Org's -0.45%. If it continues this trend, we'll...

I'm still acquiring (and dropping lesser quality ones) .mobi, as there's still life in this extension.

I'm still hanging around here.

RIP... It's a wasteland anyway.

All the best to your new venture!

Bob notified.

None of mine on the list, it appears.

Thanks. Here's the link:

The domain was registered only in 2011, and it's interesting SAA did not use UDRP to...

Are you sure? Flyssa.mobi has no whois info and was available when I tried to register it on Godaddy.

I'm stunned! Your presence is being felt thousands of miles away.

Welcome back! This site is a wasteland now. So what do you plan to do to revitalize it?

I have not changed my position, but I have changed my idea about the role .mobi will play. It will not be a "generic" TLD like .com, but one appealing to folks who want to emphasize the "mobi" aspect...

The tide will rise.

Thanks for the link to the article on responsive design and dedicated mobile URL.

What is R M A, freeflow? Why are they called premium domains? One of my domains is included in your list, but I never knew that it's a premium domain. Hope someone will use my 'premium' domain for a...

Thanks for the info, freeflow.

Any progress in this respect, freeflow? I'm interested in doing something similar, or even a zero-click direct URL forward to end user company's website.

I'm revisiting this thread and I'm seeing more interest in mobile websites as covered by another thread posted today.

The Whois info remains the same. I'd like to see good news.

The site is still "under construction" after several months.

At 6 figures, that's very ambitious. I hope you can achieve your goal and bring life back to .mobi. Good luck.

What's so special about the coming month, March?

Actually, .mobi is not dead when you look at the continuing growth in terms of .mobi registrations. So there's no need to say Sayonara.

Agreed. The right of the dot becomes part of the brand. For the largest companies, they'll stick to .com which has no meaning so gives them the flexibility to be anything. For example, Amazon.com can...

If .com is not available, they may change to a different name that's still available, or go for a relevant geo extension such .nyc, or an industry such as .music. .mobi will be considered together...

It may be just old rumor. I vaguely remember that we have mentioned his article or something similar before.

From where I am, entering "mobile stories" into Google lists my .mobi site as No 1 on...

I think the ship has sailed. I see more and more companies using auto device detection and responsive design and focusing on just one domain name.

Thanks for the link, freeflow. Unfortunately, there's no encouraging news in the article about use of .mobi.

I have not found many NNN.com in good use, so don't see much value in NNN.mobi. Only a few has meaning, e.g 123, 888, 999. (BTW, hundreds of LLL.mobi were dropped last month. In my opinion, LLL is ...

Greg, welcome. Have you looked at goMobi? Do a search on this forum for threads discussing about this service and see if it helps. I do everything myself so don't have experience with other products....

Great news! That's about US$ 13,000. It's reported on Michael Berkens' site now:

Hi Jasonn. I think .mobi is a forgotten child right now, but can still be found one day. What's the reason you are still holding on to your .mobi domains, if you don't mind sharing with us?

Hi Coast,

The Comment form is still open so I suppose it's still possible. Try here:

Yes, and it's actually quite easy to comment. Thanks for the instruction, Accent.

Thanks Cramer. You are right. The whole process was quite simple. I just did, totaling 6 comments. However, I followed Accent's instruction of selecting "String Similarity" from the Evaluation Panel...

I noticed ets was removed from the list today and its Whois record changed. I thought I followed your instruction and made an offer which was the highest. Did I read your instruction incorrectly?

$5 for ets

Where did you get this new information?

As far as I know, cruises.mobi was not sold. Rick still has the ownership but any revenue from the domain will be shared 50/50 between Rick and our cruisesmobi member on this forum.

Interesting news. So they are not even aware of the .mobi extension?

Hello Ruck, welcome. Good to see people enthusiastic about mobile. Do you own any .mobi domains? Unfortunately this forum is not as active as it used to be. A lot of .mobi fans are gone.

Welcome Rick & cruisesmobi. I wish you great success in the Cruise project. Hope it'll raise the profile of .mobi somehow. There are still people using .mobi in development. An example is...

Total drops from Aug 1 to Aug 4 is already 22k, compared with 25k for the whole month of July. Based on this observation, unless there's a sudden jump in registrations, I think the next figure may be...

With the large drops early this month so far, the next number won't be good either.

No, I see the opposite. Some say it's the truncating trend. I just say it's branding. More and more companies value domain name as brand as well as an address. The most...

.mobi and .mobile are too close, imo. But, hey, .co was approved even though .com existed before it.
