You mean how silly the mobee fanatics appeared and sounded.
Can you name one top 100 domainer that has bought more than 10 .mobis?
And don't say Rick Schwartz because even if he barely made the top 100, he has motivations and circumstances that don't apply to other domainers.
Shouldn't that tell you something that none of the top domainers are jumping on the mobee bandwagon? Don't you trust their business instincts and business acumen?
One day this will finally hit you like a ton of bricks.
Business are driving the internet, not domainers. Sorry, it just doesn't happen that way.
This is deja vu, from post 236.
Since when do you think that it is the domainers controlling and running the internet? You would like to believe that, we all would.
But this is more of that one minded approach, that being everything evolves around domains and domaining. Hell bells, a business can not go on line unless they consult the domain gods.
That is where the ton of bricks comes in. When people come to the realization that global commerce does not evolve and depend on anybody on this forum.
You act like only domainers are buying and using dot mobi. I could care less about any of the top 100 domainers buying or owning a .mobi. I could give two shits knowing how many .mobi's Rick owns.
Is that your argument? The top 100 domainers? How many did they buy?
Again, you need to consult the domain gods and read their blogs like many others so you can formulate an opinion based on their opinions?
What happened to the top 100 businesses in each business sector or industry? Oh, no...screw them. I want to know which domainer is buying into it. Domainers have the pulse of the world in their hands. Domainers have the final say over who can use what.
You wish you had that power. And those domain gods wish they had that power.
My business savvy (not instincts) and research and marketing and advertising experience tells me this is where I want to be. Many of those "top domainers" that you are referring to do not drive me, do not think for me, do not formulate my opinions.
Sorry, I did not pray to them nor consult with them when I was contemplating my purchases. I never have.
Remember when these same top domainers were saying:
Only dot com
No numbers.
Only english words.
No hyphens
No more than 7 letters.
You know you remember that mantra. I laughed my *** off then and I laugh my *** off now. I am so thankful that many if not all domainers of the day followed this path. Because while a few of us already knew the above, it also created such poor and ill advice to leave a shit load of cherry names and extension for the picking. Look at what NNN.com is going for today. Or L-L.com. Or prime .net because the gods said don't touch them. Don't eat that forbidden fruit. (oh hell, another biblical story coming on. Remember the Mobi Dick and Capt Gregr classic? Damn. Looks like the
Garden of Eden is getting ready for a makeover)
I don't wake up in the morning or go to bed at night reading the holy scripture found on the domain gods blogs.
You can if you want and it appears that many have.
Take a look around. DNF Members: Total 49,737.
Where are the other 6.5 billion inhabitants?
My god, these domain meetings must be the biggest pat-on-the-*** love-me fests on the planet. Some of you must act like dogs in heat humping the legs of the panelist just to get close to them.
