The numeric domain equivalent (ESPN = 3776) also works quite well.

Just type in 3776.com in your mobile browser.

No matter who the carrier is. No matter what hand set you use. No matter what language you speak. No matter where you are located, it works worldwide. k:

Then OnSpec, why the hell isn't ESPN advertising 3776.com???

Why are they advertising ESPN.mobi on their freaking website and broadcast????

I swear some dotMobi smear merchants in here are dumber than a brick!!!

 

[Seraphim]

I own one .mobi., and as we run together through the golden meadows, time stands still.

[Seraphim]

The fact there is sooooo much negativity on here about .mobi just makes me want to run out and buy more. Talk about hurd mentality...

GO MOBI>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I said the same thing about my shoelace collection. Everyone is a critic.

 

[OnSpec]

Yo. Vision(ary)

I guess it's because they don't own 3776.com. If they want to advertise and promote .mobi, that's their decision. No problemo.

I wasn't bashing at all. If you took the time to take off your tunnel-vision blinders you would realize that I simply pointed out an alternative, hardly the voice of a smear monger.

I do have the name of a competent Valium distributor... should you decide to come up for air at some point in the future.

Cheers,

[Seraphim]

clearly there are no corporations collecting shoelaces..... sorry about your bad investment.....

markets find a way to rotate and make money....mobi is the rotation from .com that will be the biggest thing ever to happen to mobility throughout the usa and abroad.

Compost piles need rotation too, but that doesn't mean old banana peels are going to turn into diamonds. If you're hittin' .mobi, you might as well just hit the stock market.

You smell that .com gold baby?

some people invest in oil and gas, others invest in solar and ethanol.

i want to be on the brink of something larger............... a new market....something to grow just like .com did.

Go Mobi

Oh yeah, .com is finished. :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
