Well, this really does kind of set a benchmark for high value .mobi domain names doesn't it?
The fact that all enquiries into my .mobi's dried up over 2 years ago also tells me that no-one really...

Hi Aggie,
don't forget - you can edit your 1st post..... there are no rules now re; development or compliance.... just as long as you pay Afilias your renewals they're happy....

Class Andy, pure class... lol

6 years on..... same story..... hands up if you really think .mobi will ever be significant?

maybe it's trying to tell us something..... perhaps it's time to relaunch MOTM?

Question 2.... noted

Question 1.... I'm slightly too thick to understand the answer... (no... really I am) is there a tutorial?

So, if I have this right?.... I can embed the same number in several 'call now' links on several different websites and the incoming call ID will identify which website the call is comining from?

Hi Andy,

I have a London number for $1
I have an upgraded account
I've looked at the Twilio site and now feel giddy! (It's quite technical) lol

How do I set up a re-direct? I couldn't see...

Good to talk to you Andy - The app works & crystal clear too... $1 pcm & 1c per minute... That's feckin' awesome! ;-)

I don't understand any of the tech stuff but I want it... lol

Are you saying that I can get a UK (any preferred area code?) number that I can publish on a website and have diverted to my UK...

I got part way.... but 5mins later... still processing order? No worries, not urgent for me but maybe you need to know? ;-)

Congrats.....

Time out gentlemen!

Let's not get too bogged down in semantics..... To Andres credit, I understand why he felt he had to make his position clear and Paul, you can be as stubborn as I am...

I'm in..... (for what it's worth?)

Oh!

This does not bode well at all..... sounds very grim indeed!

The way forward is looking ever more like the "one web" option..... tablets and larger screen smartphones are clearly favoured over...

5 years down the road........ who'd have thought we'd all be here now, extensively travelled courtesy of our dotmobi journey but with so little to show for it!
Does .mobi need a CEO anymore? By...

I guess names are more saleable now we have twitter because addresses without anything before the @ are becoming recognised..... so an email as simple as @pred.mobi would be pretty cool ;-)
...

Premium.... by quality only or by price too?

Premium at the moment is to sell at any price over reg-fee..... & non-premiums $10..... (sadly)

You would have thought that given all the collective experience gained since 2006, that Anunt might realise the importance of building more than just a parking page if he wants to market Flowers.mobi...

Awesome.... simply awesome lack of effort and input into developing this domain!

Blimey.... even with a home broadband connection it's only about 15miles off!

Sorry Nigel, how could I? lol.... ;-)

There you go Coast.... plenty of enthusiasm, 4 positive members in the space of a few hours; Your good self, Nash, China & Pred..... And I genuinely hope they are not disappointed. Patience can...

Shall we start a new forum? at www.mobility.co ;-)

Thanks for your candor Liubang, I had about the same level of success.... a few 'feel good' sales and lots of disappointments! - An experience which many of us at mobility have shared.

Good luck...

I don't believe the Columbians control .co, I understood that the government effectively 'sold out' so that .co could become a global tld.

I had many mobi's as the older members will know. I sold...

Hi Liubang,

apart from ecar & acer, have you had many other notable mobi sales? (congratulations by the way)

Gary

Given that this thread is no longer being updated, perhaps it should be made an 'unsticky'? ;-)

Hi Holly,

You know the importance of a KISS!

(KISS - Keep It Simple... Stupid.) lol

You have... And it works!!! An excellent little site and one that I can see myself visiting again...

Don't forget, if you aren't the only person to pre-order a drop-catch via godaddy then the domain goes to auction.... but if it's gone straight in at $7k then it looks like someone else won the drop...

@ Scandi, horses for courses..... development just wasn't my thing at the time and to be honest, one can spend 1,000's of hours developing a site and earn not a single red cent from it.... I guess...

My best suggestion is to build a site and then market the domain to the 'appropriate' market..... a domainer might not offer you $50 or $500 but if you hang onto it & develop it (without spending...

I've dropped 1,000's of the little bleeders.... and it's been cathartic letting them go ;-)

I genuinely place more value in my .co domains than I do my dotmobi's..... such is life, we had a good...

You should meet Andy.... he's often Arsey from UK lol (sorry Andy ;-)

It is the vast number of mobile devices out there that concerns me.... the fact that there already are 5x the number of mobiles to pc's.

Countered with the fact that there are so few .mobi...

I think you've hit the nail on the head here CT :rolleyes2:

These forums sometimes demonstrate that there's always a price to pay for smoking too much skunk... (& not the skunk that might be...

Nice domain! I can see that one working out as a brand, it sounds better with an "i" that some silly "e" ;-)

I'm pretty sure it's just domainers picking up the drops... ask yourself this; if you were a non-domainer where would you get your knowledge of savespell from? it's not exactly up there with Facebook...

Well I never..... good work Andres ;-)

I got a 404 I'm afraid!

Likewise, I have used escrow.com a number of times.... an excellent service but I do understand the whois 'risk' that Scandi mentioned although I've never had any problems.

Tim's "Pi55 meet wind" quip and various others including "water, uphill & pushing" would be apt enough.... I'm afraid the train has left the station and I now believe that my 20 or so .CO domains are...

very droll.. lol :rolleyes2:

I'm now resigned to the fact that mobi is for developers.... as in, those with sites, for mobiles... it's not for domainers... certainly not now and I've let a few $x,xxx names drop because I...

One of your shortest posts Tim.... and one of your best ;-)

I don't know Pred.... you complain about smut and then litter your post with innuendo! lol :biggrin:

I don't think Limo had spotted that the "post count" counter increases on every previous post made when a new post is ermm... posted.. ;-)

nice one

:embarassed:

:confused2:

Haven't a clue MJ, haven't a clue?? :dontknow:


:biggrin:

autotrader.mobi is still live & current..... the uk's biggest car sales (advertising) site by far....

If they have any sense they'll realise that they posted on "MOBI"lity.MOBI without securing their own .MOBI domain & have "urgently" rushed off to register it lol ;-)

I visited wumpy.mobi and there's nothing there.... if you use auto-detect for your .co.uk site, great! but what's the point in asking us to look at your mobile site when many of us are at our pc's or...

"development zone" WTF's that? lol...... :)

Several £1,000's for a dedicated shortcode - (ouch!), I'd never have thought it? I guess by their nature (being "short"codes) that there are only so many to go round..... I've not been a fan of...

Nothing short of heroic effort Andy! :adore:

I think you could be keeping yourself in clover for quite some time if you get this one up to speed! :coo2l:

That is why I would consider that dotmobi still has a 2nd chance..... although no longer one that I would bet a significant sum on.

I hate to say this but you could be on the right lines if the whole ".mobi = mobile" tag-line fails to pick up critical mass (which it has thus far) then yes, it looks like ".mobi = a liability of an...

Blooming marvellous Andy! ;-)

I don't see this as being any more complicated than this; -

You 'invest' in 100 dotmobi domains..... at a cost of $10,000 - you sell one for $1,000

Does this make your portfolio worth 100...

My mistake Martin.... I was suffering from mobi-tunnel vision lol.... of course you're right about JV's when you start talking other TLD's :embarassed:

I think there are several 'heads buried in sand' around here Andres ;-)

Truth is that I chose to drop 2,000 domains.... including ones worth $10,000 at some point in the future...... because it is...

Great idea.... until you look at the scales.

On one side you have the skilled developer with time and funds to invest (worth $thousands)

On the other side you have a dotmobi domain name.........

???

I look forward to the 'new and improved' Motm competition, opening it up might also bring fresh traffic to the forum and inject some new blood; can only be good! ;-)

I second that; where are you Fred? ;-)

I second that. ;-)

Go Pinky! ;-)

It's stylish, I like it.... let's hope it generates plenty of interest

Is Gesund = Health or Healthy? Not a bad sale but nothing to write home about either..... it's not a lot of money for a good keyword!

I like it.... a sign of the work Afilias are putting into mobi ;-)
What do you get for your $49.99 per annum? -
is it just the site building software and hosting for one domain?

It looks great...

To Three Network.... thankfully (I mean, who else could have it? lol ;-)

Good news, thanks noonoo

nice post Gogo ;-)

Good Luck! Let's hope we get a decent mobi price on the books....

Picture a certain 1960's TV witch twitching her nose & saying "save spell"..... you won't forget next time lol
